This presentation will explore the origins and development of Bassett, Virginia, from its rural agricultural beginnings through the establishment of the Bassett Furniture Company and the growth of the town that emerged around it. Through historic photographs, maps, and local stories, we will examine the people, industries, and events that transformed a small Appalachian farming community into one of Virginia’s most significant furniture manufacturing centers.

This program is free and open to the public.
