Nickelsville
At 2,000 feet, Nickelsville is the town with the highest elevation in the county. Featuring friendly citizens, home-town charm, and three unique historical landmarks, it is well worth a visit. Nickelsville is located north of Gate City on Rte 72.
Nickelsville was named after a mercantile store run by the Nickels brothers. Although the store is no longer visible, several historic landmarks from that era still exist. The Ole Nickelsville Hotel, now a guest house, served travelers and was also a boardinghouse for rural children who stayed in Nickelsville while going to school. A couple of miles west, the Kilgore Fort House dates from a hundred years earlier when raids by Native Americans prompted European settlers to build fortified homes. In the other direction, Bush Mill is the only still operational grist mill in our region.
Those looking for old-fashioned family fun will find it in abundance in Nickelsville as well. Punkin Patch invites you to pick your own pumpkin, then enjoy a hay ride, corn maze, and petting zoo. While you're in the area, why not check out Bush Mill days in October and Nickelsville Days in June? Or stop by Keith Memorial Park to visit a beautiful war memorial honoring Scott County veterans back to the Revolutionary War.
