General stores, train depots, schools, churches, banks, and post offices provide intriguing details of a way of life now gone. The buildings may be empty or repurposed today, the existing community may be struggling to survive or rebuilding itself in a new and different way, but the story behind each community's original development is an interesting and important footnote to the development of Virginia and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLost Communities of Virginia\u003c\/i\u003e documents thirty small communities from throughout the Commonwealth that have lost their original industry, transportation mode, or way of life. Using contemporary photographs, historical information, maps, and excerpts of interviews with longtime residents of these communities, the book documents the present conditions, recalls past boom times, and explains the role of each community in regional settlement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Virginia Polytechnic Institute","offers":[{"title":"Lost Communities of Virginia | Terri Fisher | Hardcover | 9780974270739 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks R 1787601","offer_id":50855365509378,"sku":"1787601","price":82.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/715A9GX0BwL.jpg?v=1792795741","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/lost-communities-of-virginia","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
