View of the New River Horseshoe BendNEW RIVER STATE PARK. Rugged hillsides, pastoral meadows and bucolic farmlands  surround what is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in North America - the New River. Its waters are slow and placid. Its banks are fertile and covered with wildflowers. Dedicated as a National Scenic River in 1976, this gentle river is the centerpiece of New River State Park.
SPARTA TEAPOT MUSEUM. The Sparta Teapot Museum offers its visitors an unexpected art form-the teapot. The Kamm Collection is comprised of more than 6,000 teapots and has an estimated value exceeding $5 million. The collection is the largest teapot collection “of its kind in America and arguably the world.” The collection’s teapots run the gamut from traditional antiques, to classic production pieces, to one-of-a-kind artist-made works.
