He added the vehicle will replace two of the department's older trucks - a 1975 model and a 1985 model.

"We are grateful to have the support of the Board of Supervisors," said Akers.

  • From the Director Dear Friends
    Vol. 22 www.lincolncottage.org Winter 2014 From the Director Dear Friends, If you had visited our offices in the past few weeks, you might wonder why everyone was sporting a perpetual grin. It was hard not to be happy. This month, we landed the cover of Washingtonian magazine with our iconic sculpture of Lincoln. The eye-catching cover showcases the life-like detail achieved by the artists at StudioEIS. It’s hard to believe the sculpture was dedicated five years ago this week, just one year after we opened to the public. So much has changed since then, and the cover was one in a recent string of events that demonstrated that all the hard work and determination of the past few years is paying off. Thank you for helping us spread the word. Did you see us on the cover of Washingtonian magazine? The life-size Washingtonian’s brief write-up took the opportunity to contrast our statue of Lincoln standing in front sculpture with one that is far more familiar to most Americans — the of the Cottage is a top pick for local Lincoln Memorial.

King Martha McCartney with contributions from: The Pamunkey Indian Tribe The Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe The Mattaponi Indian Tribe Prepared for: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay & Colonial National Historical Park The Chesapeake Conservancy Annapolis, Maryland The Pamunkey Indian Tribe Pamunkey Reservation, King William, Virginia The Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe Adamstown, King William, Virginia The Mattaponi Indian Tribe Mattaponi Reservation, King William, Virginia St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland October 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As part of its management of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, the National Park Service (NPS) commissioned this project in an effort to identify and represent the York River Indigenous Cultural Landscape. The work was undertaken by St. Mary’s College of Maryland in close coordination with NPS. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept represents “the context of the American Indian peoples in the Chesapeake Bay and their interaction with the landscape.” Identifying ICLs is important for raising public awareness about the many tribal communities that have lived in the Chesapeake Bay region for thousands of years and continue to live in their ancestral homeland. ICLs are important for land conservation, public access to, and preservation of the Chesapeake Bay. The three tribes, including the state- and Federally-recognized Pamunkey and Upper Mattaponi tribes and the state-recognized Mattaponi tribe, who are today centered in their ancestral homeland in the Pamunkey and Mattaponi river watersheds, were engaged as part of this project. The Pamunkey and Upper Mattaponi tribes participated in meetings and driving tours.

  • Voices from the Garden the Twelve Bronze Statues and Their Stories
    Virginia Women’s Monument: Voices from the Garden The Twelve Bronze Statues and Their Stories The twelve women chosen to be depicted as bronze statues in the Virginia Women’s Monument represent women from all corners of the Commonwealth, both widely-celebrated women, as well as those with previously unknown, but equally important, stories. Many more women will be memorialized on the Wall of Honor and in the accompanying virtual educational modules. Anne Burras Laydon (ca. 1594 – ca. 1636) - Jamestown Anne Burras, a 14-year-old maid to Mistress Forrest, arrived in Jamestown in 1608 aboard the Mary and Margaret. Anne and Mistress Forrest were the first two female settlers in the colony. When Mrs. Forrest died, Anne married carpenter John Laydon, in what is believed to be the first wedding held in the colony. She and John had 4 daughters—Virginia, Alice, Katherine and Margaret. She was employed as a seamstress and at one point Gov. Thomas Dale is reported to have ordered her beating because of the unsatisfactory quality of the shirts she had made. As a result of the punishment, she suffered a miscarriage. Anne survived both this harsh treatment and the winter of 1609-1610, known as the “starving time”, demonstrating her resilience and fortitude. Cockacoeske (fl. 1656 - d. 1686)—Jamestown Cockacoeske, (pronounced Coke a cow ski) was a Pamunkey chief, and descendant of Opechancanough, brother of the paramount chief Powhatan. Upon the death of her husband Totopotomoy, chief of the Pamunkey circa 1649-1656, Cockacoeske became queen of the Pamunkey. In 1676, a few months before Bacon's Rebellion, the insurrection's leader Nathaniel Bacon and his followers attacked the Pamunkey, killing some of Cockacoeske’s people and taking others captive.
