Here are two views of another of Virginia’s “Waysides,” which once served motorists the way “rest areas” do now on the interstates. However, every one of the Waysides was unique. This one has recently been partially restored. It is on US Route 11 south of Pulaski, where the road goes over Draper Mountain.
Look at that stonework in the right photo. It looks like it could be some of the Civilian Conservation Corps’ work. The wayside is on both sides of the road; the left photo is looking toward the portion across the highway. Some of the facilities are still grown over with weeds, but Virginia has done a nice job of restoring this place.
