Small Towns of Virginia Series

From Cumberland Gap - to the south shores of the Potomac - and the beaches along the Eastern Shore, Virginia has an endless amount of small towns and villages - each with their own unique history and story.  The Small Towns of Virginia Series explores these towns.  Some are tied to mountains and the music that echoed through the valleys, others have ties to Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, while others found themselves caught in the middle of the Civil War.

In addition, this series will also visit state and national parks within the commonwealth along with other historical locations and items of interest.  We hope that after learning about these places here, you'll go out and explore for yourself these and the many other small towns of Virginia.
