About Buchanan County Fair
The Buchanan County Fair in Grundy celebrates the coal mining and mountain heritage of far southwest Virginia's most rugged county, where the Clinch and Russell Fork rivers carve dramatic gorges through the Appalachian coalfields and communities have maintained their mountain traditions through generations.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local crafts, mountain music, and the Appalachian community spirit of a county where coal mining history and mountain culture run deep.
Visitor Tips
Grundy is a compact mountain town rebuilt on a hillside after repeated flooding from Slate Creek. Garden Creek Baptist Church cemetery is one of several historic sites. The breaks of the Russell Fork — called the Grand Canyon of the South — are a spectacular natural feature at the Kentucky border.
