Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This book has many interesting pictures of Abingdons places, people and buildings. I particularily liked the photos of the MArtha Washington, Barter Theatre and old downtown. It made learning about Abingdons history very interesting...not like reading a history book at all.
