Buena Vista, VA

[NW Mailing List]

While on the subject of Buena Vista, I am curious for the location of the  
plant in Buena Vista where tannic acid was made from chestnut bark until it 
died  out in the 1930's when they used only oak bark.  My guess is that  the 
operation was in the "flats" south of the N&W station. That was quite an  
interesting railroad area at one time with both the N&W and C&O on  shared 
trackage for a little distance.
