About Us
Summers Cottage
is owned and operated by Betsy and Ramsey White. Betsy is the Executive Director of the William King Museum of Art and the author of Great Road Style (University of Virginia Press) and Back Country Makers - (University of Tennessee Press) - books documenting the material culture of Southwest Virginia and Upper East Tennessee. Ramsey is a retired dentist and the Director of the College for Older Adults in Abingdon.
Both share a love of old houses and collecting local art. The cottage is a combination of these interests. Betsy and Ramsey hope that you will enjoy Summers Cottage as much as they enjoyed the restoration and furnishing of their "little old Victorian lady".
