Our Location

Glade Spring expresses great beauty through its history, its neighborhoods and its caring people. As is the case with many small communities, Glade Spring welcomes you warmly.

Located along Interstate 81 at Exit 29, Glade Spring finds itself in two worlds — a world of commerce, new faces and new opportunities and a world of traditions, families and friendships. During the last few decades, these two worlds have increasingly shaped one another in a very positive way. Glade Spring grows as a community that builds on its values in the context of new ideas and new faces.
