You can see the past century of Fries, Virginia, as you come around the turn on Route 94 and start down the hill into town: the New River pooling behind a slanting dam, redbrick abandoned factory buildings, a main street with two blocks of businesses, a school, churches, and small white houses on the hillside leading up from the river and the railroad tracks.
