Virginia's Lost AT

Menu

Description:

A view of the town of Fries, Virginia, in March 1911. The photographer Lewis Wickes Hine visited Fries that year to document the working conditions in the Washington Mill, visible in the left margin of the photograph. The flat bottomed river boat in the foreground is a typical example of the kind of boat used along the New River, including at Dixon's Ferry, where Appalachian Trail hikers crossed the river on their way north or south until 1952.
