Featured Exhibit
Sipping in the Blue Ridge
From museum exhibits and living history to the many events we hold throughout the year, there is something for everyone at the BRIM.
Explore the traditions of the past and the folkways woven through the fabric of modern life.
BRIM offers field trips and other activities for school, homeschoolers, and families as the largest Living History Museum in Southwest Virginia.
As the Virginia State Center for Blue Ridge Folklore, the BRIM shares Blue Ridge and Appalachian culture around the world.
Since the early 1900s Southwest Virginia has had a love affair with fast automobiles. The stock cars racing around rural oval tracks, the dragsters roaring down small-town drag strips, the hot rods cruising through teen hangouts, the moonshine liquor cars passing through the darkness, and the muscle cars rumbling at stoplights all have a chapter in the region’s heritage.
