Day 1: A chic little town in SW Virginia founded in 1776

Named after the ancestral home (in England) of Martha Washington, Abingdon has seen the likes of Daniel Boone, and boasts the Barter Theater right on Main Street. Our B&B, A Tailor's Lodging , dates to Colonial times (pictured). We'll be having dinner at the Martha Washington Inn, then take in "Good Ole Girls" at the Barter Theater. Ernst Borgnine, Gregory Peck, and Ken Spacey all got their start at the Barter Theater. Hope to add a photo of the Theater on another posting.

although it rained most of the day, it was usually a light rain. Interstate 81 is a beautiful drive...basically next to the Appalachian Trail.
Cheers,
David & Virginia
