Virginia Curiosities, 2nd: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff

Whether you're a newcomer to Virginia or a visitor - or a life-long resident, you'll be sure to find inspiration for countless day trips in your car in this intriguing book. If you love history, there's plenty for you to discover, including the farmhouse where Stonewall Jackson's arm is buried - and where people often leave lemons, a Jackson favorite, at the grave. If you enjoy pop culture, there's plenty for you in this book, as well. The author's personality shines through, as early as in the book's dedication - which is to her husband, who doesn't listen to a word she says, and to her horse, who doesn't miss a word. In this edition of Virginia Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff, Sharon Cavileer's second, she deletes information about sites in her first book that closed in the interim and she has added plenty of new material about quirky and intriguing places to visit in Virginia. This book is organized by geographical sections of Virginia, so that you can easily set up a road trip - or two or three or more - for each area of our great state. Take your friends, your spouse and your kids and just enjoy the day!
