Where to Find Arts and Culture
Discover local creativity at the Pocahontas County Artisans Co-op and the Pocahontas County Art Guild, both with multiple locations where visitors can browse and purchase handmade crafts and artwork. The historic Pocahontas County Opera House hosts performances year-round, featuring musicians from around the world as well as local artists who help keep Appalachian mountain music alive.
Live music is also a staple at several local eateries, including Hillsboro Pub, Rivertown Cafe, Old Spruce Brewing and Old Mountain Tavern — making it easy to enjoy great food and homegrown talent in one stop.
For those looking for a hands-on experience, the annual Cal Price Appalachian Enrichment Series offers programming that educates and celebrates the region’s artistic and cultural heritage. The Yew Mountain Center also hosts year-round events that highlight the unique traditions, history and artistic heritage of Pocahontas County.
