Abingdon Information

Abingdon is the county seat of Washington County, Virginia. With a bustling downtown area mixed with beautiful mountains and wilderness, this city provides fun for the whole family all year long.

No matter what you come to town for, Abingdon has the perfect activity for you. Brush up on your history through a self-guided tour of the Abingdon Historic District, or catch a reenactment at the Abingdon Muster Grounds. Embrace the outdoors while tubing, kayaking or fishing with Adventure Mendota, or plan a hiking trip along the Appalachian Trail. Try your hand at painting at the Arts Depot and observe the arts at the Barter Theatre. At night, you can catch a movie at the Abingdon Cinemall or check out the Out in the Open sculpture competition. When it’s time to eat, stop in for a bite at Bella’s Pizza, and sit down for a cupcake or two at Anthony’s Desserts. Looking to do some shopping? Abingdon also has a great selection of specialty shops, boutiques and art galleries for you to choose from. In late July, the city hosts the Virginia Highlands Festival, which was recently named the Best Art Event in the region by readers of Virginia Living magazine.

While Abingdon is filled with great sights to see and places to explore, there are some other towns and parks nearby that you can visit to keep the fun going. The Backbone Rock Recreation Area is nearby, and is a great place to visit for a fun camping trip away from the city. Another great park to check out nearby is Grayson Highlands State Park, a great place for hiking or bird watching. Across state boundaries you can have a fun lake day at South Holston Lake, or explore the historical town of Winston-Salem to learn more about the history of the Salem Witch Trials. For another great small town adventure, head out to North Tazewell, a small neighborhood in Virginia that will make you feel right at home.
