Martha Inn Spring

The vivid pink color of the flowering Kwanzaa Cherry trees frame the Martha Washington Inn in Abingdon, Virginia. The Martha Washington Inn is a historic hotel originally built in 1832 by General Francis Preston, hero of the War of 1812, for his family of nine children. Over the course of the last 174 years, the building has served as an upscale women's college, a Civil War hospital and barracks, and as a residence for visiting actors of the Barter Theatre. The Martha Washington Hotel & Spa is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
