There are many musical venues stops along the Crooked Road that include the Ralph Stanley Museum in Clintwood, the Norton Country Cabin, the Carter Family Fold in Hiltons, the Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Bristol, the Blue Ridge Music Center in Grayson/Carroll County, the Rex Theatre in Galax, the Floyd Country Store, and the Blue Ridge Music Institute in Ferrum.
