Wilderness
Road State Park is the home of historic Martin's Station. The Station
is an outdoor living history museum with costumed interpreters
depicting life on the Virginia frontier of 1775. The new

shown daily at the Visitors Center. Unique gifts can be purchased at
The Powder Horn Gift Shop inside the center.

route of the trail carved by Daniel Boone in April of 1775. It is a
10-mile hiking, biking and equestrian trail that connects Martin's
Station to Cumberland Gap in The Cumberland Gap National Historic Park.
Other facilities at the park include a beautiful picnic area, 3 picnic
shelters, comfort station, playground and the self-guided Indian Ridge
Trail
The Karlan Mansion, built in 1877 is available to rent for special events, meetings and other occassions.
