Spurred on by Newport News Shipbuilding president Homer Ferguson, it was created to house shipyard workers during World War I. The village was the city’s first planned community and its first National Register of Historic Places district. Hilton’s distinctive cottage-style architecture, reminiscent of an English village, is one of the first examples of the New Urbanism and Garden City movements in America. Along the tree-lined streets are homes and shops that might have been pulled from a Dickens novel. This 99th celebration of the opening of Hilton Village will be presented by John V. Quarstein. An award- winning historian and preservationist, he is the director of the USS Monitor Center at The Mariners’ Museum and Park. Author of 16 books, the lecture will feature highlights from forthcoming book: Hilton Village: America’s First Planned Community.

  • “The Village Beautiful”
    “THE VILLAGE BEAUTIFUL” What got constructed… What didn’t get built… What else got erected… Introduction… “The Village Beautiful” was a slogan adopted by the Hilton Civic League when it was organized in 1919. The story of Hilton Village’s rapid construction the year before is well documented elsewhere and is also nicely summarized by this historical marker, located near the intersection of Warwick Boulevard and Main Street. Less well known is what was originally contemplated…and what was not…in the concept’s innovative design. Several major features of the master plan for Hilton Village were never realized. Others were modified during and shortly after the 1918 construction period. Plus, there were also a few unplanned additions made during this bedroom community’s first few years. Over the nine-plus decades of Hilton Village’s existence, many far-reaching changes have been realized, resulting in a somewhat eclectic mix of structures. The original homes, both modified and unchanged, still stand, for the most part. But they are now surrounded by numerous businesses and public service facilities. All together, Hilton now exhibits a wide range of architectural styles never contemplated by the Village’s planners and architects. The following pages provide a descriptive overview of the portions of the original master plan that were realized, plus a discussion of several additions, modifications and deletions that were made during the community’s first decade. 2 What was planned… The original plan for Hilton Village, which was at first referred to as ‘an industrial housing development’ included much more than just residences, as many housing projects just did that were later created.

There is currently no known microbe that can tolerate temperatures higher than 122 ˚C. Hydrothermal systems display diverse and unpredictable conditions of extremely high temperatures and acidic pH, offering a range of environments that naturally test the limits of life as we know it. Microbial communities have been found within hydrothermal fluids, microbial mats on basaltic rock and chimneys, as well as within the neutrally buoyant hydrothermal plume, with varying energetic constraints on microbial activity and abundance.

  • Williamsburg Civil War Roundtable 2019 Newsletters Williamsburg Civil War
    Williamsburg Civil War Roundtable 2019 Newsletters Williamsburg Civil War Roundtable Meeting Place Williamsburg Volume XLIII Number 1 September 25, 2018 John V. Quarstein “Wake-Up Call – The Battle of Big Bethel” Join us for the next meeting of the Williamsburg Civil War Roundtable at the Williamsburg Public Library Theatre at 7 PM on Tuesday, September 25, 2018. On September 25, 2018 John Quarstein will present “Wake-Up Call – The Battle of Big Bethel”. Noted as the first land battle of the Civil War, Big Bethel was a mere skirmish soon overlooked by bloodier battles that would follow. Nevertheless, Big Bethel was a baptism of fire for a nation newly involved in civil war. The soldiers that served at Bethel would never forget the rude awakening of shells bursting among the smartly clad Federal Zouaves or how Henry Lawson Wyatt's body of the 1st North Carolina laid lifeless on the field. They all knew that the war would not just be filled with parades, and it would not be over by Christmas. Instead, the soldiers realized that it would be a bloody desperate affair. The Union defeat at Big Bethel would establish the battle lines in Hampton Roads for the next 10 months awaiting the grand events of Spring 1862. John V. Quarstein is an award-winning historian, preservationist, and author. He is director emeritus of the USS Monitor Center at The Mariners’ Museum and Park in Newport News, Virginia. The author of 17 books, his titles include HILTON VILLAGE: AMERICA’S FIRST Williamsburg Civil War Roundtable Newsletter Page 1 of 5 PUBLIC PLANNED COMMUNITY; A HISTORY OF IRONCLADS: THE POWER OF IRON OVER WOOD; CSS VIRGINIA: SINK BEFORE SURRENDER; and THE MONITOR BOYS: THE CREW OF THE UNION’S FIRST IRONCLAD, winner of the 2012 Henry Adams Prize for excellence in historical literature.
