Tazewell Courthouse and Fancy Gap Road March 17, 1849 Tazewell - Wytheville The turnpike traveled east on what is currently Virginia State Route 61 (SR 61) from Tazewell to SR 623, which it turned onto. It then followed a windy crossing into Burke's Garden, and then exited on a much narrower, steeper, and windier section until it reached SR 42. The turnpike then followed SR 42 briefly before moving off onto SR 621 (Old Mountain Road). The turnpike followed this onto U.S. Route 52 (US 52; Stoney Fork Road), and followed this into Wytheville. The routing south of Wytheville is unclear, perhaps following Peppers Ferry Road to Max Meadows, and then following SR 121 (Max Meadows Road) south onto US 52 to Fancy Gap. The Tazewell Courthouse and Fancy Gap Turnpike, along with the Price's Turnpike and Cumberland Gap Road, was constructed through Tazewell County from 1848 to 1852.[5] It extended from Tazewell, through Burke's Garden and Wytheville, to Fancy Gap. After the Civil War, the road served as part of a stagecoach route from the Great Lakes to the South.[6] In 1885, New York University geology professor John J. Stevenson praised the road's engineering, calling it "...remarkably good..." despite the obstacle of Clinch Mountain.[7]
