About this listen

David and Jill Dalton live in the William King House in Abingdon. They've restored it and they're sharing it because of its significant history. In fact, the house now hosts a permanent Virginia Historic marker because William Clark -- of Lewis and Clark fame-- spent the night there. And William King was the richest man in the region at the time he built this first brick house -- WITH running water that came through hollowed out logs.

Hear the story of how the Daltons decided to move to Abingdon to buy and restore the house and to help preserve the importance of Abingdon in the early days of our country.
