"Stories of an Abandoned Virginia"

John Plashal has not only spent many years identifying and photographing beautifully decaying houses, churches, schools, hospitals and other structures throughout our state but has assimilated into their respective communities to learn about their accompanying backstories. The result is "Stories of an Abandoned Virginia", a unique presentation full of powerful imagery and emotional stories revolving around local landmarks that have been "frozen in time". This is one of two presentations Plashal will deliver at the Vinegar Hill Theatre on September 21st. The other presentation is called "From Enslavement to Empowerment: The Story of the Belmead on the James" and it begins at 4PM. Those tickets are sold separately.
