Scott Rutherford

The Museum of Scott Rutherford deserves an afternoon. We've only got a minute, so here's the tour. First stop, the Sports Wing, not to be confused with the Chicken wing… that’s next. Equipment and jerseys from every sport he played growing up. Football and basketball take prominence. Don’t breeze past this. Then, hospitality. From his parents' Chicken Country and Victorian hotel with fine dining, to Arnold's, home of the best sandwiches in Blacksburg, especially after hours. This is where the good story lives. Working the door as a bouncer, he turned to his friend and said, "I want that one." Eighteen moves and four states later, Becca is still the one he wants, raising Scotty, Jackson, and Owen, exhibits still being written, including a coach's whistle just handed down to Scotty. Every museum has its Mona Lisa. Here's his masterpiece: the blending of elevated hospitality and outdoor living, reserved for Metro Atlanta's most discerning families, the ones for whom exceptional is simply the standard.
