Local Roots at TC3 - Speaker Ed Morgan

Event is FREE. Cider can be purchased in The Taproom.

For fans of NPR’s “StoryCorps”, this one’s for you. Local Roots is a 90-minute oral history program designed to weave together the vibrant tapestry of Abingdon, VA, and the surrounding Appalachian region. Led by Tom McMullen—co-founder of Tumbling Creek Cider and orchard manager—this event will be recorded live and be archived at Emory & Henry University’s own WEHC radio.

Speaker for this event will be Ed Morgan.

Ed Morgan, former mayor of Abingdon and TC3 Community Member, will offer a reminiscence of several important events that he participated in during his life in Abingdon.

He will touch on how he came to Abingdon, the development of the Creeper Trail, the Martha Washington Inn, and a nearly forgotten saga involving Rees Shearer, Eric Reese, Henry McCarthy, and Emmit Yeary.

Ed notes that cider always improves his memory. While he promises to try and tell true stories don’t be surprised by confabulation, exaggeration, and hyperbole in keeping with
the highest standards established by the leadership of our nation.
