Avalon written by Ola Maie Foushee. This is the book to look for if you are interested in Avalon. Ola Maie Foushee lived in Avalon as a child. This is the best source of information related to Avalon that I have found. It's a very hard to find book. The Mayodan library still has a copy of it that can be viewed but not checked out. The book was published in 1977 and I don't think there was ever a reprint. My wife found this copy at Alibris.com a place that deals in used and hard to find books. What was really surprising is that this copy had been signed by the author.

From Avalon to Eden written by Piper Aheron. This is a newer book first published in 1997. It contains many old photos and postcards from Rockingham County. Anyone interested in the history of the area would find this book very interesting.
