Description
Petersburg, Virginia was a central hub of the tobacco industry for over 200 years. Tobacco weigh stations, warehouses, manufacturing and shipping were centered in the city while surrounding counties, such as Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, and Prince George provided the actual tobacco product. Join local citizen Jack Crocker as he tells of the labor-intensive process from plantings to packaging.
