🏚️ A Lonely Old Home in Wythe County, VA — Still Holding On
Some houses don’t need a name or an address to make you stop and wonder.
This one, sitting all by itself in a wide Wythe County field, feels like a memory the land refuses to let go.
Once upon a time, this old place echoed with the sounds of living — a screen door slamming as children tore outside to play… the hum of a woodstove on a cold morning… the soft murmur of voices drifting out the kitchen window at suppertime. You can almost picture laundry snapping on the line, a milk cow grazing nearby, and smoke rising from that sturdy brick chimney.
Today, the vines cling to its walls like the last threads of a story determined not to fade. The tin roof is rusted, the windows gone quiet, but the bones of the home stand strong — a testament to the hands that built it and the family that once called it theirs.
Across Appalachia, places like this remind us that every hollow, every ridge, and every backroad holds a chapter of someone’s life. Even in silence, these old homeplaces speak.
