Tamarack Marketplace

We love stopping at this welcome center. There is so much beautiful stuff here. So many talented artists of every kind. Prices are reasonable for the quality. I also had a chicken salad sandwich here. Very delicious! Will definitely stop again.

Architecturally unique and beautiful building that's open, airy, clean, and modern. Amazing variety of high quality items made by local artisans. Love that there's a workshop for wood workers, glass blowers, and pottery. I highly recommend that you check it out and I'm looking forward to visiting again soon!

The restaurant is clearly the winner here. Large portions that taste fantastic. The chicken pot pie is recommended. The crafts are splendid, but most priced very high. $50 for a coffee mug. ? That said, our friends still purchased a $300 jewelry box. Very nice place.

Undeniably good food and hand made crafts, even hand carved woodwork and Glassblown decor!! Spent hundreds with this business already. The craftsmen in the shop actually work while you shop during the weekdays. If you're extra nice/patient, On the off-hand occasion, some of the crafters will take custom commissioned orders! This is truly a sight to see. Everything's locally made and sourced straight out of West Virginia, USA, with award/ competition winning food. There's even an Open Air Art Gallery as well as an indoor gallery. Travelers and Truckers, this is on top of the Hill of the Beckley Travel Plaza. Do NOT SKIP this gem when passing through. There's a smaller shop akinned to the Grand Market place in the back of the food court. Do visit this place. Yet don't finish / leave only seeing this small shop in the travel center center. Again, this truly is a Gem of Beckley WV that you shouldn't skip! Come with your wallet people, some of the stuff is expensive but very exquisite. You won't find anything like this in other states, all grouped into one place.

This is a must see art center. Plan at least an hour and buy lunch, or picnic if you are in an RV. We did a glass blowing session, picked up some yummy salsa and spent time perusing the best of West Virginia art and craftsman.

A wonderful place to stop and stretch on a long day of road trips. They have fast food at the service center, but I’d recommend going to the visitors center, and getting a great meal at the restaurant. The shops have an eclectic assortment of West Virginia souvenirs, and they are made by West Virginia artisans.

This was our first visit and won’t be our last. There are pet areas outside and dogs are allowed inside, although not in the restaurant. This center hosts 2,200 WV artists and a restaurant that utilizes local suppliers. We had a delicious breakfast that will keep us full until dinner. A large, modern truck stop/gas station sits below the hill so you can gas uup before hopping back on the road. This is a perfect stop to learn what West Virginians offer!

My Navy enlisted son is stationed in Virginia Beach, and Tamarack is about the halfway point for us. We like to stop here and so appreciate them allowing RVs to park overnight. It's a great safe location and they have an area with cleanup bags to walk your pets.
