South Main Street . Downtown Pearisburg
Completed in 2009 by artist Jane Bode, these murals depict the history of Pearisburg and surrounding Giles County.
The panels feature early settlers crossing the New River on what was known as Snidow's Ferry...the Andrew Johnson house, built in 1829, still standing today (I'll show you a picture of that tomorrow)...and the old Savoy Hotel as it looked in 1920...the hotel was demolished in the early 60's
Linking with Monday Murals
It is snowing here in Virginia. A lot!
Can I ask you a huge favor?! Will you click this link and vote for me please? Pretty please with sugar on top?!!
