Drone image of the campus.Welcome to our beautiful, historic campus—whether for an admissions tour, special event, to meet for business, or to just take a stroll around campus. 

Updates regarding Return to Campus & COVID-19 can be found here.

We are so glad you are at Emory & Henry College! Perhaps you are here for an athletics competition, taking in a performance or art show at the McGlothlin Center for the Arts, or attending one of our many special cultural and other events. Our campus has lots to keep our visitors busy, including during the summer with programs and camps.

If you can stay awhile, consider the quaint town of Abingdon or the larger city of Bristol, each offering an array of lodging and dining options.
