Lee County, Virginia

Lee County sits at Virginia’s westernmost tip, wedged between Kentucky and Tennessee. The Appalachians are the highlight. Rolling hills give way to rugged mountains, with steep hollows in between.
The Cumberland Gap, a historic mountain pass, cuts through the county. Daniel Boone once blazed trails here. These days, hikers and nature lovers come to explore its beauty.
Coal mining shaped much of the county’s past, and you can still see its influence. The people here are hardy and proud. They’ve weathered tough times but always bounce back. Jonesville serves as the county seat. It’s small, but it has heart.
