Where it says it works

Tappahannock AND Essex County, VA. The About page states: "Tappahannock, the oldest town in Essex County and its county seat, is located on Virginia's Middle Peninsula along the Rappahannock River," and positions the destination as "100 miles south of Washington, D.C., 95 miles north of Norfolk and 45 miles northeast of Richmond."

Verification note

COVERAGE CONFLICT WITH THE FILE: the organization now brands and describes itself as "Visit Tappahannock & Essex County" and claims the whole county, where the state directory assigned it only the Town of Tappahannock. Name change accordingly. Phone matches. No email address is published (contact form only) and no staff are named, so Janine Rigg is not carried over.
