Pt. 1 - Things to Do When You Stay at the Hattie House

Today we visited Old Alvarado Station on the beautiful Virginia Creeper Trail. A restored 1900s railroad depot that's now one of the most scenic stops along the trail. It's just a short drive from the Hattie House & we would highly recommend adding it to your stops list when visiting Abingdon.

✨Follow along for more as we explore town & all of its hidden gems
