We will leave at 09:00 for Williamsburg.. It is clear that no matter where you go in this part of the world you travel through a “GREEN TUNNEL” My friend, Kay, is correct.. “It is very very boring”.. The only good thing was that every so often we came on to a DOGWOOD.. Or flowers that had been put along the freeway.. We even came on an area that had RED FLANDERS POPPIES.. ... Just in the bare ditch and along the road.. There were some other flowers... a purple type.. some white.. It is all clear that they are planted by the highway department. The bloom of the DOGWOOD is about over. At noon we stopped in a roadside park for rest and to have lunch. There were several Dogwoods. One was a large Pink Hue Flower. We took some pictures.. THE SQUIRREL A lady who works in the park has made friends with the squirrels. She had only been working there this year. Somehow she has gotten them to come to her and climb right up on her knee and eat from her hand. They come to her and stand still for her to pet them and talk with them. It was amazing to watch.. It is almost like a Dr. Dolittle Scene.... See the photos.. 888888888888888888 I AM ALMOST SURE THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE NICEST PLACES WE WILL STAY IN... IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE WE GOT THIS COMPLEX FOR $38.00 PER DAY... THIS IS THE RESULT OF “LUCKY SKILLED PLANNING” (SURE, I’LL TAKE CREDIT) WOW AS IN WOW!! LIFE IS GOOD -- LOVE IS BETTER!! At 4:45PM we checked into this beautiful complex.. Friday, May 3. 2013 WESTGATE HISTORIC WILLIAMSBURG 1324 RICHMOND ROAD, ROOM 104 WILLIAMSBURG, VA 23185 888888888888888888888888 DAY 1 (YES, I’ll call it that.) 888888888888888888888888 WE ARE HERE. As usual it will take about an hour to unload what we need and get ready to have dinner..That is the way life is.. Frankly, this is the only drawback to traveling like we are. With the car as your cupboard and closet, what you think you need is always outside in the car.. Such is life.. DISHES Our routine is to wash all of the dishes and cooking equipment. No matter how fancy a place is, that is always required. We think “We Keep the Germs down”.,,? Who Knows. 888888888888888888888888 DINNER We had two Hamburger Patties cooked and frozen. Vick made VICKI ALLEN WORLD FAY-MOS CHEESE BURGERS WITH COLD PORK & BEANS WOW AS IN WOW! WERE THEY EVER GOOD! WE CHASED IT ALL WITH RED ROTTEN GRAPE JUICE. LIFE IS GOOD -- LOVE IS BETTER!! 8888888888888888888 THE FACILITY This is a top drawer facility. Yes, there is the typical gauntlet of Time Share Peddlers that you have to “Run Through”. They all want to Get INTO your Pocket> They ALL want your money. This is one of the drawbacks you face when you get a place like this. Our pockets are not deep so we must get these at GOOD DEALS.. I tied up this two weeks on 9 February. I got them through Interval International’s “Get Away” program. This is really a good way to get DEALS. 88888888888888888888 COMPUTER SYSTEMS We set up our equipment and then learned that these folks have a MAJOR CHARGE for getting on the Net: $10.00 per day to 40.00 per week. That is unacceptable, but I guess if I want to live in that world... And being as we have all of the Apple Toys.. This is how life is.. 888888888888888888888 In bed at 1030.. It has been a long day. “THANKS GOD FOR KEEPING US SAFE” Saturday, May 4. 2013 WESTGATE HISTORIC WILLIAMSBURG 1324 RICHMOND ROAD, ROOM 104 WILLIAMSBURG, VA 23185 888888888888888888888888 DAY 2 888888888888888888888888 I up at 0750, SSSS< DRESSED AND OFF AND RUNNING TO RICHMOND. MANY THINGS TO SEE.. 8888888888888888888888 RICHMOND NATIONAL CEMETERY Richmond National Cemetery is located three miles east of the city. It encompasses 9.7 acres, and as of the end of 2005, had 9,322 interments. 5,720 are UNKNOWN... interred two or three bodies to a grave. This is the most SHOCKED I have ever been.. I have visited many cemeteries and this is the first time I have ever seen this.. Can you imagine how many families were upset over their loss about their kids never coming home? Just think about how many emotions would be present today. It is currently closed to new interments. Richmond National Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The cemetery lies within what was once Richmond's wartime fortification lines built when the Confederate army defended Richmond during the Civil War. The cemetery was established by the Congressional legislation in 1866. The original burials in the cemetery were re- interments from Shockoe Hill, Belle Island Prison Camp, Seven Pines National, Cold Harbor National Oakwood & Hollywood Cemeteries in Richmond. Those re-interments were primarily of Federal Union soldiers who perished from the effects of wounds while POWs in the Richmond area military hospitals. 88888888888888888888 I MUST SAY THIS WAS THE MOST SHOCKING NATIONAL CEMETERY I HAVE EVER BEEN IN.. TO THINK THAT MORE THAN HALF OF THE BURIED HERE ARE “UNKNOWN” ... THIS HAD TO BE ONE OF THE MOST TERRIBLE WARS THE UNITED STATES HAS EVER HAD.. IT WAS WITH HONOR THAT I GAVE A HAND SALUTE TO THESE UNKNOWN! CHIMBORAZO: HOSPITAL ON THE HILL Chimborazo Hospital, located in the Confederate capital of Richmond, was the largest and most famous medical facility in the South during the Civil War. The hospital admitted nearly 78,000 patients suffering from battlefield wounds and diseases. Of this number, approximately 6,500 to 8,000 died, resulting in a mortality rate of about 9 percent. Few hospitals in the Confederacy had lower mortality rates, and those that did generally received patients who were further along in their recovery. The best- staffed and equipped Union hospitals, in comparison, achieved a 10 percent mortality rate. With no model to draw on, Chimborazo Hospital's success can be attributed to a combination of its open- air, pavilion-style design; the comparatively good quality of care; innovative practices; and the supreme dedication of the caregivers—men and women, black and JUDY ANTHIS, RANGER OF THE MEDICAL white, slave and free. Their efforts contributed to one MUSEUM... A LADY OF VAST KNOWLEDGE WHICH SHE SHARED WITH US.. THINGS TO of the great advancements in mid-nineteenth-century SEE AND DO. THANKS TO HER, OUR PLAN medicine: the acceptance of hospital care for the sick CHANGED. THE REST OF THE DAY WE and injured, which was a concept not embraced in WENT TO PLACES SHE TOLD US ABOUT.. America prior to 1865. THIS IS WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT TRAVELING It should be known that two times as many of the LIKE WE DO.. Confederates died as a result of some type of contagious disease than from bullets.... LIFE IS GOOD -- LOVE IS BETTER This fact was a SHOCKER to me. 888888888888888888888 CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS & SAILORS MONUMENT Monument to Confederate Soldiers and Sailors in Richmond’s Libby Hill Park in Church Hill.

  • PRELIMINARY INFORMATION FORM (PIF) for HISTORIC DISTRICTS
    ! PRELIMINARY INFORMATION FORM (PIF) for HISTORIC DISTRICTS Purpose of Evaluation Please use the following space to explain briefly why you are seeking an evaluation of this property. In 1989, as a result of a “Phase 1” cultural resources survey undertaken for VDOT, the preparer of this P.I.F. recommended that a suite of archaeological sites and above-ground structures at the northern end of Shockoe Hill in Richmond, Virginia should be considered a potential historic district eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Mouer 1989). Te SHPO’s review committee for that project concurred with my recommendation. More than thirty years later there is now far more extensive understanding of the nature and extent of this proposed district as well as a considerably more enlightened understanding of signifcant themes which lend it a unique level of importance. Not long after that 1989 report, three of the most visible elements of the proposed district were individually listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register. However, a proper appreciation of all of the historic contexts which make this district signifcant requires recognition of several additional contributing elements. Te district is a signifcant example of the sort of municipal almshouse-public hospital-cemetery complexes that arose in the period of the New Republic following disestablishment of the Church. Te history of the District encompasses the changing social and racial relationships of Richmond through the Antebellum, Civil War, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow/Lost Cause eras of the 19th century. While the previously listed properties (Te Almshouse, Shockoe Hill Cemetery, and Te Hebrew Cemetery) illustrate wonderfully the public appreciation for important and wealthy persons, for civic leaders and historical fgures like John Marshall and Elizabeth Van Lew, and for excellence in public architecture and mortuary design, there is much more to the Shockoe Hill tract.

  • Disappearing the Enslaved: the Destruction and Recovery of Richmond's Second African Burial Ground
    Disappearing the Enslaved: The Destruction and Recovery of Richmond's Second African Burial Ground Ryan K. Smith Buildings & Landscapes: Journal of the Vernacular Architecture Forum, Volume 27, Number 1, Spring 2020, pp. 17-45 (Article) Published by University of Minnesota Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/762534 [ Access provided at 1 Sep 2020 13:42 GMT from Lou & Beth Holtz Library Endowment ] ryan K. smith Disappearing the Enslaved The Destruction and Recovery of Richmond’s Second African Burial Ground abstraCt The hilltop at the intersection of Fifth and Hospital Streets in Richmond, Virginia, served as the city’s primary burial ground for enslaved and free blacks from 1816 through emancipation, making it one of the longest- serving and most populous burial grounds of its kind in the nation. The site’s early history and active use show its profound role in the lives of the city’s African American residents as well as intimate connections with resident whites buried in adjoining cemeteries. Yet today the burial ground stands as the site of an abandoned gas station, its historic core unrecognized like so many other smaller burial grounds for the enslaved elsewhere. By tracing the process of obliteration at Richmond’s “second African Burial Ground,” this article illustrates how those in power— in this case a New South coalition of government officials, city engineers, and private developers— worked to truncate the highly charged memorial landscape related to human remains. The loss of this im- mense burial ground, untouched in the scholarly literature until now, underscores how essential the landscape and even human bodies are for the maintenance of social space and memory.

  • The Great Chief Justice" at Home
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior "The Great Chief Justice" at Home "The Great Chief Justice" at Home (Courtesy of Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) John Marshall led the Supreme Court of the United States from obscurity and weakness to prominence and power during his 34 years in office, from 1801 to 1835. More than half his time as chief justice was spent at home in Richmond, Virginia. Marshall’s public duties in Washington, D.C., and on circuit in Virginia and North Carolina, consumed an average of less than six months a year. So he was often with family and friends at his two-and-a-half-story brick house, built between 1788 and 1790. Located at the corner of Ninth and Marshall Streets in downtown Richmond, this house stands as a permanent memorial to the Marshall family. No National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior "The Great Chief Justice" at Home other site, not even the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., is so closely connected to "The Great Chief Justice." John Marshall’s public and private roles were intertwined at home. He developed legal opinions, wrote public papers, and greeted famous guests at this place, where he also was a father, husband, and household manager. Today visitors to the John Marshall House can see evidence of both the public and private parts of his life at home. A striking symbol of his public life--a large judicial robe once worn by Marshall as chief justice--is displayed in the visitors’ Orientation Room, as is a small locket that was worn by Marshall’s wife, Mary Willis Ambler, whom he called "my dearest Polly." These two objects represent the public and private domains of a great man’s life, his career and family National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S.

The Preferred Alternative is presented separately in Chapter 4 of this Final EIS. Each section of this chapter covers a separate topic area that was relevant to the selection of the Preferred Alternative: clarifying historical context for communities within the corridor based on comments received on the Draft EIS and ongoing cultural resource coordination (Section 3.1); documentation of refined operations modeling performed after the publication of the Draft EIS (Section 3.2); and summary of community group, agency, and stakeholder considerations in the decision-making process (Sections 3.3 through 3.5). Note that due to the numerous sources that are provided to the reader in this additional information section, detailed technical references to other data sources are provided as footnotes at the end of this chapter in lieu of standard page footnotes. 3.1 COMMUNITY/CORRIDOR HISTORICAL CONTEXT This section presents expanded discussions of three areas within the Project corridor: Fredericksburg, Ashland, and Richmond. These discussions expand on the historical context of these areas and the relation of the history of these areas to the rail system and the DC2RVA Project. The discussions also demonstrate that full understanding of the historical context of these areas was taken into consideration in the selection of the Preferred Alternative, as detailed in Chapter 4 of this Final EIS.
