                                              Prospectus, Part I,
                                          dated October 20, 1995 


The Fund

     The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of Virginia, Second Series (the
"Fund") is a unit investment trust formed for the purpose of
gaining interest income free from Federal and Virginia income
taxes while conserving capital through a diversified investment
in tax-exempt bonds.  The Bonds in the portfolio of the Fund
consist of obligations of political subdivisions, public
authorities and agencies of the Commonwealth of Virginia that
were rated "A" or better by Standard & Poor's Corporation or by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. on the date of deposit.  All
bonds deposited in the Fund were accompanied by copies of
opinions of recognized bond counsel to the effect that interest
thereon is exempt from all present Federal and Virginia income
taxes, except in certain instances depending on the
Certificateholder.  In the opinion of counsel, such interest is
not taxable to the Fund and, with certain exceptions, is exempt
to Certificateholders from all present Federal and Virginia
income taxes, but may be subject to taxation by localities and
states other than Virginia.  Capital gains, if any, will be
subject to Federal income taxes and may be subject to Virginia
income taxes to Certificateholders.  (See "Tax Status of the
Fund" in Part II).  Payment of interest and conservation of
capital are necessarily dependent upon the continuing ability of
the issuers of the bonds to meet their obligations.  Each Unit of
interest ("Unit") at October 20, 1995 represented a 1/4,353th
fractional undivided interest in the $1,880,000 principal amount
of the Bonds and net income of the Fund in the ratio of 2.32
Units for each $1,000 par value of the bonds in the Fund.  For a
summary of information about the composition of the portfolio,
see "Information Regarding the Fund" on page F-5.
    

     The Units being offered by this Prospectus are issued and
outstanding Units that have been purchased by the Sponsor in the
secondary market or from the Trustee after having been tendered
for redemption.  The Units are being offered at the Public
Offering Price plus interest accrued to the date of settlement. 
The profit or loss resulting from the sale of Units will accrue
to the Sponsor.  No proceeds from the sale will be received by
the Fund. 


     THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED
      BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE
         COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
           OF THIS PROSPECTUS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO
               THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Public Offering Price

        Units are offered at the Public Offering Price, plus
accrued interest.  The Public Offering Price per Unit is equal to
the aggregate offering price of the underlying Bonds in the
Fund's portfolio, divided by the number of Units outstanding,
plus an amount equal to 4.439% thereof, resulting in a sales
charge equal to 4.25% of the Public Offering Price.  (See "Public
Offering Price" in Part II).  At October 20, 1995 the Public
Offering Price was $462.99 plus accrued interest to expected date
of settlement (five business days after such date) of $4.07, or a
total of $467.06.  The Public Offering Price on the date of this
Prospectus or on any subsequent date will vary from this price in
accordance with fluctuations in the prices of the underlying
Bonds.  If the Bonds were available for direct purchase, the
purchase prices thereof would not include the sales charge
included in the Public Offering Price. 

Estimated Current Return

        Estimated Current Return per Unit, which was 5.87% on
October 20, 1995, is calculated by dividing net annual interest
income per Unit by the Public Offering Price.  Since net interest
income will vary with changes in the expenses of the Fund and as
Bonds are redeemed, paid, sold or exchanged and the Public
Offering Price will vary with fluctuations in prices of the
underlying Bonds, there can be no guarantee that the Estimated
Current Return as of a particular date will be realized in the
future. 

        On January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of 1992 the
Fund distributed to Certificateholders interest income of $11.29
per Unit, on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of 1993,
the Fund distributed to Certificateholders interest income of
$9.48 per Unit and on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of
1994, the Fund distributed to Certificateholders interest income
of $7.20 per Unit.  
    

   Retain both parts of this Prospectus for future reference.

        HOUSING AUTHORITIES.  Approximately 52.63% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds consists of obligations
of Virginia housing authorities.  Because such Bonds are
obligations of issuers whose revenues are primarily derived from
mortgage loans to housing projects, the ability of such issuers
to make debt service payments will be affected by events and
conditions affecting finance projects, including, among other
things, maintenance of adequate levels of occupancy and rental
income, increases in operating expenses, changes in laws and
social and economic trends affecting the localities in which the
projects are located.  Weaknesses in Federal housing subsidy
programs and their administration may result in a decrease in
subsidies available for payment of principal and interest on
housing authority bonds.  Economic developments, including
fluctuations in interest rates and increasing construction and
operating costs, may also adversely affect revenues of housing
authorities.  In the case of some housing authorities, inability
to obtain additional financing could also reduce revenues to pay
existing obligations.

     As independent certified public accountants, we hereby
consent to the use in Post-Effective Amendment No. 16 to

March 21, 1995, and to the reference to our firm under the

                     INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT




The Sponsors, Trustee and Unit Holders of
The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of Virginia, Second Series


      We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities of The Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of Virginia, Second
Series, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of
December 31, 1994 and the related statements of operations and
changes in net assets for each of the three years in the period
then ended, and selected per unit data and ratios for each of the
five years in the period then ended.  These financial statements
and per unit data and ratios are the responsibility of the Fund's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and per unit data and ratios based on our
audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements and per unit data and
ratios are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1994 by
correspondence with the custodian.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements and selected per
unit data and ratios referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Tax-Exempt Bond
Fund of Virginia, Second Series, as of December 31, 1994, the
results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes
in its net assets for each of the three years in the period then
ended, and selected per unit data and ratios for each of the five

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         December 31, 1994


NOTE 1:  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act
         of 1940, as amended, as a Unit Investment Trust.  The
         following is a summary of significant accounting
         policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
         financial statements.

         Basis of Presentation
               The Fund maintains its books on a cash basis.  The
         accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to
         record the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
         investments and to record expenses and interest income
         on the accrual basis.

         Securities
               Securities are stated at value as determined by
         the Evaluator as explained under "Public Offering of
         Units - Evaluation of the Fund" (Prospectus, Part II),
         based on bid side evaluation.  Cost was based on
         offering side evaluation at the date of deposit.  The
         difference between cost and market value is reflected as
         unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments. 
         Realized gains and losses from securities transactions
         are determined for federal income tax and for financial
         reporting purposes on the basis of the cost of specified
         certificates.  Security transactions are recorded on the
         trade date.

         Income Taxes
               The Fund's policy is to comply with the
         requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are
         applicable to regulated investment companies and to
         distribute all its taxable income to its certificate-
         holders.  Therefore, no income tax provision is
         required.


NOTE 2:  DISTRIBUTIONS:

         Net investment income is distributed to unit holders on
         the first day of each calendar quarter.  Such
         distributions are accrued on the record dates, which are
         March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1.  The
         distribution payable at December 31, 1994 amounted to
         $6.36 per unit.  Distributions of principal from the
         sale or maturation of securities, if any, are made and
         recorded in the manner described above.

                        December 31, 1994


NOTE 3:  TRUSTEE AND EVALUATOR FEES:

         The Fund pays a fee for services rendered by the Trustee
         of $.89 per year per $1,000 of outstanding investment
         principal, payable quarterly, plus expenses.  The Fund's
         Evaluator is paid a fixed fee of $35 for each portfolio
         valuation plus expenses.


NOTE 4:  ORIGINAL COST TO UNIT HOLDERS:

         The original cost to unit holders represents the
         aggregate initial offering price as of the date of
         deposit exclusive of accrued interest.  A reconciliation
         of the original cost of units to investors to the net
         amount applicable to investors as of December 31, 1994,
         is set forth below:

         Original cost to investors                  $5,062,060
