Nice gift shop just outside Meadows of Dan and just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Locally crafted quality items. Staff was super friendly and helped us avoid the road construction on 58 West from Stuart to Meadows of Dan. Would stop again when in the area.

Was happy to find this great little shop was open when we were traveling on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and the store sells gifts, drinks and snacks. Have been recently remodeled on the inside, but still kept a lot of the old charm. Definitely worth a stop when traveling down the parkway

The real "Mayberry " old 100+ year old store just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Where the name Mayberry originated from in the Andy Griffith Show. Mt Airy gets the glory but this was the place. Older lady with plenty of tales and loves to share them. Interesting items in the store as you browse around. Nothing like the feeling of being in a part of history with someone who enjoys seeing you excited to see it!!

When you travel the Blue Ridge Parkway from Fancy Gap north as you near the Meadows of Dan keep an eye out on the right. Through the trees you will see The Mayberry Trading Post. It is on Mayberry Church Road which runs parallel to the Parkway. STOP HERE! There is a great collection of antique smalls, cold drinks (non alcoholic) Tee Shirts at the best prices on this part of the parkway, and the nicest young lady running the place. the building has housed the trading post since 1892 and it has been run by the same family all this time. the young lady will give you a detailed history of this structure and it's proprietors. It also used to be the post office for the original Mayberry and you thought it was in North Carolina. But alas the original Mayberry is actually in Virginia and this young lady will proudly tell you so. Cheap prices but beware! Show up with cash money they don't do credit or debit cards. Very historic place and very friendly staff. Also right up the road (Mayberry Church Road not the parkway) is a pretty scenic old church which is named ....you guessed it the Mayberry Presbyterian Church. Worth a look if you have the time

We've passed the Mayberry Trading Post several times on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but didn't think it was open. Well, it is. Daily, including Sunday, 8 am to 5 pm. Mayberry Virginia was (is?) a real place, not far from Mount Airy NC, Andy Griffith's hometown. The Trading Post has served this rural community for many, many years. It is very close to famous Mabry Mill (the family's original name was Mayberry, earlier shortened to Mabry).
Inside, you will find some antiques, homemade dolls, afghans, and other crafts, jellies & jams & pickles & relishes. Also postcards, souvenir & historical books, just about anything under the sun.
Next trip, we'll be stopping in again, for sure.

This historic trading post has so much potential but is in desperate need of a facelift. The attendant was very friendly and helpful but the layout and merchandise were less than appealing. Poorly lit, stocked, and with limited offerings. Very disappointing.

Even when it was pouring rain outside and we had to slush through a ton of water to get inside the store, it was still fun to visit and I am so glad we did. A friendly gal, Peggy, was so friendly and willing to share a lot of fun history about the store. We bought a book about the store and it was signed by the author. And, just so happens, the author came into the store. Fun little visit there.

We stopped in one day for a soda and a snack. The young lady behind the counter gave us the history on the store. It seems it once was the local post office, then a general store. The place has been in the same family since it opening in the 1800's

Enjoyed looking around this place. Lots of old fashion memories & stuff that modern stores don't sell. Also offers snacks and drinks.
Quick trip to the past.

Love this place. The owner is so friendly and loves to talk. I met a couple last time making homemade apple butter and spent a good hour watching and talking to them, they were so nice. The store has affordable gifts, t-shirts, homemade items it is a definite stop you have got to make!
