Hi Everyone. Today's trip is taking us to Wise, Virginia. It is in
the south-west part of the state.
Wise is a town in Wise County, Virginia, United States, and the county
seat of Wise County. The population was 3,286 at the 2010 census. It
was originally incorporated as the town of Gladeville in 1874. The
town's name was changed to Wise in 1924. Wise is named after Henry A.
Wise, the last Virginia governor before the American Civil War.
Three buildings in the town of Wise are on the National Register of
Historic Places. The Colonial Hotel, now known as the Inn at Wise
Court House, was added to the Register in 1991. The Wise County
Courthouse was added to the Register in 1981. In February 2006, the
Register listed the E. M. Fulton House.
The downtown area hosts the Battles at Wise Civil War Living History
Presentation and Re-Enactment in July every year. They also offer
a variety of theatrical, musical, and fine-arts events throughout
the year. The town is also the home of the University of Virginia's
College at Wise.
January is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
24 and 42 degrees Fahrenheit. July is normally the warmest month with
