How We're Doing Our Part
The Vinton area is actually bisected by the Blue Ridge Parkway. The residents and businesses of Vinton are extremely proud to have such a beautiful national resource as part of their community. Several rangers and parkway employees actually call Vinton home. Most recently the Vinton War Memorial, an elegant event venue, was host to one of the kick-off events of the Blue Ridge Parkway 75th Anniversary. Vinton is pleased to support the anniversary efforts, embraces the Blue Ridge Parkway’s values and heritage, and looks forward to an exciting future.
