We really enjoyed our visit to the County Hall Museum in Abingdon! The building is beautiful and full of history. The exhibits were interesting and gave us a great picture of the town’s past. The staff were very friendly and happy to chat with us. We especially loved the rooftop view — it was amazing! It’s a lovely place to stop by if you're in Abingdon. Thank you to everyone at the museum for keeping this local history alive!

Bonito edificio en una plaza muy chula y un pueblo que está muy bien para un paseo, una parada en ruta o algo así.
