Autumn Harvest Display - Abingdon, VA

The wonderful town of Abingdon, Virginia takes great pride in its colorful history and beautiful scenery. With so many interesting things to see here, it would take weeks to fully experience everything that Abingdon has to offer. There are the usual popular attractions such as the Barter Theatre, the Martha Washington Inn, Whites Mill, The Tavern and lots more, but a huge portion of Abingdon's charm lies in the people themselves. The citizens of Abingdon are well aware of the blessings that God has bestowed upon them, and they're eager to share what they've been given with all who wish to visit - you can hear it in their voices and see it on their faces. Abingdon has deep agricultural roots - tobacco, beans, corn, livestock and many other farm products helped finance the growth of the town and the surrounding areas over the years, and although many of the small family farms in Washington County are being sold off, the strong influence of farming still shines through. Today's picture features a great example of the way Abingdon honors her agricultural roots: an elaborate autumn harvest display located in the town park.   Picture Of The Day Homepage | Submit a photo Interesting Articles
