Description

Local historian Chuck Mauro provides a look at the rich past of Herndon, Virginia, in fascinating and historical images. Mauro illustrates the diverse aspects of Herndon's history, including the town's earliest settlers, remnants from the Civil War, the railroad and the dairy farming that sparked the development of the town, the town's black population and the architectural character of the town's historical buildings. These archival and modern photographs provide a window to Herndon's past where the subjects no longer exist and can be seen today only through the use of historical images--images that current memories cannot faithfully re-create. Herndon: A History in Images is an essential volume on this vital small Virginia town.
