About the event

Local Roots - Oral History Program at The Taproom
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.

Bill will speaking about growing up in Abingdon during the 1950’s and 1960’s and retelling stories handed down from his parents and grandparents. In particular he will discuss the “shootout” on Wall Street in 1942 between the FBI and two fugitives and his grandfather’s role in the event.

He will also discuss the legal methods for obtaining alcohol in Abingdon during Prohibition. Questions will be welcomed.
