This episode of Traveltalks visits the State of Virginia. In 1947, agriculture was the mainstay of economy. Tobacco, molasses from cane, and peanuts were the agricultural mainstays. The state capitol, Richmond, can boast the oldest legislature in the Western Hemisphere. There are many attractions including old caverns with beautiful rock displays.—garykmcd
This Traveltalks visit to The Old Dominion starts with a look at the state's agricultural products. Although tobacco is its most important crop, peanuts and sorghum also are important to the economy. We then visit two of Virginia's natural wonders: Natural Bridge and Luray Caverns.—David Glagovsky <dglagovsky@prodigy.net>
