A postcard written by a visitor in Abingdon, Va., to the family back home might contain any or all of the following phrases: genuine Colonial ambience, a 20-block historic district, architecturally beautiful buildings and museums, great theater, artisans studios, shops filled with antiques and collectibles, brick sidewalks, a town square, the Martha Washington Hotel dating from 1832, phenomenally friendly people and the desire to stay forever. Abingdon, founded in 1778 and nestled in the stunning Blue Ridge Highlands of Virginia, quite frankly clamps a tight grip on the traveler’s heart, soul and senses and refuses to let go.
