O. Winston Link Collection

William King Museum’s permanent exhibition of  O. Winston Link photographs is currently on display at the Washington County Historical Society, located in the old Abingdon Train Station at 306 Depot Square.

The collection of O. Winston Link photographs is focused on the Norfolk and Western project. Link captured the last days of steam operation on the N&W Railway in the late 1950s, but within the walls of these Galleries, our visitors experience much more than just photographs. This collection is more than trains and rail operations. The images created by Link are vignettes into history and sociology. They are art; they are a part of the history of photography, and they are a tool to share an era with every person.
