Local author Amy Hayes Castleberry offers a road trip through the beach community’s past and present.
Join her at Prince Books for a signing on March 13th, from 1 - 3 pm.
Virginia Beach offers a variety of attractions but few who visit know that there is an area with a history that dates back to the 17th century. Many early structures remain intact and appreciated, while others fell into ruin and exist only in photographs and memories. New from Arcadia Publishing is Virginia Beach, by local author and interior designer Amy Hayes Castleberry.
Virginia Beach is part of Arcadia’s popular Then & Now series which offers a special view of American life, placing historical images side by side with contemporary photographs to chronicle the area’s past. It is the author’s “fervent hope that anyone who reads my book will have a different perspective of the historic structures of Virginia Beach and their fragility and perhaps resolve to play a part in protecting them.”
Start: 4:00 pm
End: 5:00 pm
