The 62nd Season of the Trail of the Lonesome Pine is now underway!
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Virginia’s Official Outdoor Drama, returns to the stage on June 6th and runs through August 9th for its 62nd Annual Season. Situated in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, the Drama is based on the best-selling novel written by local author John Fox, Jr. and tells the story of how coal brought new life to the Appalachian region over a century ago. At the heart of the story, burns the feud between the Tollivers and the Falins, two rival factions who are sworn enemies from decades past. With music, dance, and passionate performances, “The Trail” is known far and wide for its heart-felt romance between a young mountain girl and an engineer who comes to the region in search of coal.
