Directions
Please do not rely on GPS devices to find the Yew Mountain Center--especially if you are coming from the west on route 39. Cellular service is unreliable in our area and the directions may send you up a treacherous old logging road. The Yew Mountain Center is on a paved, well-maintained county road. It is a winding, narrow road, so we suggest traveling slowly and enjoying the scenery. In the winter, contact us for current road conditions. From I- 81 North of Lexington (Northern VA, DC) Take Exit 191 to I-64 West. Take Exit 169 to Lewisburg then follow the FROM LEWISBURG directions From I-81 South of Lexington (Roanoke, Blacksburg) Take Exit 150 at Daleville to 220 North Continue North on 220 to I-64 West (Covington) Take Exit 169 to Lewisburg then follow the FROM LEWISBURG directions From Lewisburg, WV Drive North on 219 for 24.6 miles.

Set your trip: 3.4 (Note, this turn is past Beartown State park and before Droop Mt. Battlefield State Park. The sign for Lobelia Rd. is on the right, but the road is on the left!

Description of Business
The Yew Mountain Center, an educational non-profit organization, began a partnership with Hillsboro Maple Works in 2021. We collect sap from red and sugar maples for their operation and we also boil it down to be enjoyed right here on site. The center is a great place to learn how maple sugaring can be a part of an integrated forest farming system as we also cultivate forest botanicals and mushrooms in the same habitat. We programs year round that explore Appalachian culture, ecology and the arts.
