    www.historicpolegreen.org historic polegreen church foundation 2013 NEWSLETTER Vision 2018: Reclaiming the Historic Viewshed By the 275th Anniversary of the founding of Polegreen Church, the Polegreen Foundation will be recognized for its leadership in the historic interpretation of civil and religious freedom in Colonial Virginia through preservation of the historic site, community outreach, and educational programs. In order to achieve this goal, the Foundation will continue to preserve the historic site and commemorate the struggle for civil and religious freedom in Colonial Virginia by Rev. Samuel Davies and the Hanover Dissenters. In 1990 the Presbytery of the James, successor to Hanover Presbytery that was founded at Polegreen in 1755, authorized the creation of a non-profit foundation to preserve, enhance and interpret the site of Polegreen Church. The Foundation’s first objective was to locate the remains of the colonial church. Archaeologists from Virginia Commonwealth University conducted the work and uncovered the remains of the church’s foundation. On the basis of the physical TABLE OF CONTENTS evidence and the easily documented record of the important events related to the Hanover Dissenters and Samuel Davies, in 1991, the U.S. National Park Vision 2018: Reclaiming the Service listed the site in the Register of National Historic Places.
