The logo, “Virginia is for Lovers”, marked its 50th anniversary this year. In celebration of this iconic logo, the Virginia Tourism Corporation provided grants to 38 communities across the Commonwealth to showcase what makes a vacation in Virginia so special, and to show travelers why “Virginia is for Lovers” still rings true 50 years later. To celebrate “50 Years of Love”, Scott County Tourism has created a commemorative, trackable geocoin. Once you have found all 11 geocaches on our new geotrail and completed the required "passport" you will receive one of the commemorative geocoins. There are 100 geocoins available and once they're gone we have a special Scott County trackable to give to geocachers who have completed the passport.
Welcome to beautiful downtown Dungannon, VA. Welcome to the 100+ year old Dungannon Depot. From 1910 to 1912 the Depot in Dungannon was in a boxcar, open at both ends and located on a side track. The present Depot was built by hand beginning in 1910 and completed in 1912. The Dungannon Depot was one of the few remaining along the track of the Clinchfield Railroad line which runs from Spartansburg, S.C. to Elkhorn City, K.Y. The last regular passenger train to run was May 2, 1955. Since then a special "Santa Claus" train runs on the Saturday just before Thanksgiving. For the next twenty years it sat there waiting until June 2, 1978, the Depot was moved to it current location. After the Depot was completely renovated, the new community center was dedicated in April of 1980. On March 18, 2010 the Virginia Department of Historic Resources Approved the Dungannon Depot as a Listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register. Today the historic Depot is used for special events, reunions and special dances. Once a spot for trains, today, a place to square dance and have some fun!
