We stopped to see some of the historic sights in this small town on our route from Johnson City to Roanoke as its just off I-81. The architecture is congruous from the Barter Theater, Martha Washington Inn, United Methodist Church, General District Court Clerk and Sinking Spring Presbyterian Church. Then there is this 1846 stone Episcopal Church looking like it should head the town square in Dorset, England. Beautiful buildings.

Although not far from the town of Abingdon, this is a lovely spot in a rural setting. The “tour” is self guided if you wander by - which we did during the first week it has opened in months, due to Covid closures. We went primarily to pick up some stone-ground cornmeal (a practical souvenir for your cornbread loving friends) and had a nice wander around the Whites Mill Mercantile store across the road. Books, cards, jams and jellies, curiosities, jewelry, vintage items, and local handmade items - the couple working there were friendly and helpful. We found the mill in good shape, and helped us imagine the day when it must have been a hub of the community.
