AFTERNOON UPDATE: Tazewell County landmark moved to new home

TAZEWELL, Va. - History is on the move in Tazewell County.

It took several workers, a larger tractor trailer and a police escort to move the Frog Level Yacht Club Thursday morning along the U.S. Route 19-460 corridor in Tazewell. Traveling at a speed of about 3 mph, it took a good 45 minutes to move the old service station from Frog Level to its new home at the Historic Crab Orchard Museum in Tazewell.

“There were no problems,” Charlotte Whitted, director of the museum, said. “There were two people on top of the building as it went by. I kept holding my breath everytime we went by a mailbox or a car parked by the road.”
