Launched in 1995, the Buchanan Area Guidebook is owned by Virginia Media. Over the years the Buchanan Area Guidebook has grown to become a comprehensive, local source of information for newcomers and “old-timers” alike, and is direct-mailed to over 4,000 homes and businesses. Another 3,000 are available at high-traffic locations such as banks, restaurants, motels, town and county offices, the library and Chamber of Commerce (Botetourt).
