Tazewell Courthouse and Fancy Gap Turnpike

The Tazewell Courthouse and Fancy Gap Turnpike, also known simply as the Fancy Gap Turnpike, was a turnpike in the U.S. state of Virginia. It extended from Tazewell, through Burke's Garden and Wytheville, to Fancy Gap.

Route description

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.
