Janette Carter, one of three children of A.P. and Sara Carter established the Carter Family Fold to honor the memory of her parents and Maybelle Carter who played a historic role in helping give birth to the age of country music beginning in 1927. Even though Janette has passed away, her daughter Rita is carrying on the musical and performing legacy she established . The original Carter Family lived on this hallowed ground, right where the Carter Fold is today, in Poor Valley, at the foot of Clinch Mountain in southwest Virginia. This was their home and base of operations. Since 1974, the non-profit Carter Music Center has presented programs of old time and bluegrass music every weekend. Formally established in 1979, the Center's objective is to promote old-time music and pay tribute to the Original Carter Family (A.P Carter, Sara Carter, and Maybelle Carter). The Saturday concerts highlight the musical style made popular bythe Carter Family, considered by many as country music's first family. In keeping with the traditional music style, no electrical instruments are allowed (everything is acoustic). There's lots of dancing and fun for the entire family. Shows are family-oriented; no alcohol is permitted at concerts. Delicious home-fixed snacks are available at the Carter Fold Snack Bar, and you might be able to round out your collection of Carter Family recordings at the well-stocked souvenir and record concession. Come early and browse through our Museum before the show.

Once each year, a two-day (Friday and Saturday) festival takes place the first Saturday/Sunday weekend of August. Mountain craftsmen are on hand to sell their goods, and there's lots of good country cooking going on, too.

Opiniones sobre hoteles destacados en Hiltons

Delta Hotels by Marriott Bristol

4/10 Malo

"Muchísimo ruido de la autopista. Frío, mal aislado. El personal nada amable. Yo ahí no vuelvo, menudo truño. Y encima en mitad de la nada. "

MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center

6/10 Aceptable

"Las personas que trabajan en el restaurante y el bar son muy amables, y siempre están atentos preguntando si necesitas algo más. El hotel está muy bien ubicado y tiene una linda vista al campo de Golf. A pesar de ser un hotel de la cadena Marriot y por el costo de cada noche de hospedaje, el aseo en la habitación fue muy deficiente, no aspiraron el piso, ni limpiaron el polvo durante toda mi estadia en el hotel que fue mas de una semana, incluso hubo días donde ni siquieran ingresaron a la habitación a asear el baño. Otra cosa que me parece increible y en pleno siglo XXI, es que cobren por la conexión a internet cuando por lo general es gratis o un es un servicio básico prestado en cualquier hotel alrededor del mundo."
