Andrew Johnston House . Pearisburg

Terrible photo but I wanted to show you the house since it was in the mural from yesterday. We pulled up and noticed the house would be open for tours in about an hour. I got out to walk around and take some pics when Nick said "Let's just go see something else and come back when it opens." ....so I only snapped this ONE terrible picture before leaving and then we never made it back. Nick was in a hurry to go see Dismal Falls that I showed you HERE ....anyways, this house was built in 1829 and is the oldest brick house in Giles County...For more info on the house Click Here ...linking with Rubbish Tuesday .....oh, we got our snow yesterday/last night...about a foot of it! Finally!

Oh, and can you vote for me again today?!! Please!

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
