Draper is a census-designated place (CDP) in Pulaski County, Virginia, United States. The population as of the 2010 Census was 320. Draper has both a fire station and post office. Draper developed around the Draper Depot of the Norfolk and Western Railway's Cripple Creek Extension in 1886.[1] The bed of this extension now forms the New River Trail State Park.

Draper is home to the Draper Historic District, which includes 40 acres with a variety of contributing historic buildings, including the Draper Mercantile (1887), Bank of Draper (1911), and several houses in the Gothic Revival and Queen Anne styles.[1]

The Draper Mercantile was purchased in 2008 and renovated into a restaurant, café, and retail store.[2] The Draper Mercantile and surrounding Draper community are featured in tourism materials for Pulaski County.[3]
