Hancock County is a retreat into the authentic heart of Appalachia, where rolling ridges and the expanse of the Clinch River Valley span as far as the eye can see. The county seat, Sneedville, captures the area’s warm community spirit and serves as a gathering point for regional celebrations and the annual Hancock County Fair. For history enthusiasts, the Hancock County Courthouse stands as a testament to the area’s deep roots—while the local Vardy Community School Historic Site shares the remarkable story of Melungeon culture unique to this region.
Those seeking outdoor adventure find abundant opportunity along the pristine banks of Clinch River, renowned for smallmouth bass fishing, kayak excursions, and tranquil picnics.
