The Exchange Place is a remarkably preserved 1850s farm complex that served as a crossroads trading post for travelers moving between the Great Valley of Virginia and the Tennessee frontier. The property's log structures — including the main house, barn, granary, and spring house — have been meticulously restored and are maintained by costumed interpreters demonstrating period farm skills. The historic gardens grow heirloom vegetables and herbs documented in 19th-century records. One of the most authentic living history experiences in the upper South.
