I love my Washington County Virginia. We’re just about as far back to 1776 as modern day communities can get. We’re a proud people. I was born & raised in Western Kentucky & I’ve lived around the world & all over the U.S. while I was in the army. I’ve experienced lot’s of different people & communities but I chose to retire here. Sure we have problems like all towns do but this place is different. It’s something you have to experience to know what I mean. I’ve found my home here. A place to raise my family. A beautiful community with caring people. I’ve planted my flag here. I will die here either naturally or defending this community. To those who are unhappy here I say… You’re wasting your life being unhappy. Find out where you belong. Find your happiness. The rest of us have found our happiness here in Washington County Virginia. 🇺🇸
I love this area! There is so much to do and so many incredible places to see. There are countless trails to hike, lakes to swim in and beautiful views to soak in. I am very proud to be from southwest Virginia/northeast Tennessee and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
One of the biggest attractions in the area is the Abingdon Farmer's Market. The Market meets almost every Saturday throughout the year and most Tuesdays, and offers high-quality, locally produced vegetables, crafts, meats, baked goods, and more. And while the buying options are certainly a major attraction, the Market also simply provides a pleasant place to go to meet with friends on a Saturday morning.
