Abingdon is one of the oldest towns in southwest Virginia, a historic county seat in far southwest Virginia with tree-lined Main Street, brick homes and a strong arts tradition. Its Barter Theatre, founded during the Depression when audiences could pay for tickets with produce, is the State Theatre of Virginia. Tourism, healthcare, education and small manufacturers support the local economy, and the town is a gateway to some of the highest and most scenic mountains in the state.

Abingdon is a long drive from the state’s major cities, more than five hours from Richmond and Washington, and the nearest airline service is Tri-Cities Regional Airport across the Tennessee line. Virginia Highlands Airport is right in town, making private flights a convenient way to visit for theater weekends, family events or business in the region. Visitors come to bike the Virginia Creeper Trail, hike Mount Rogers and Grayson Highlands, stay at the historic Martha Washington Inn and catch race weekends at Bristol Motor Speedway, about 20 minutes away.
