Historic Virginia Land Conservancy

On Thursday, November 5, we went to Williamsburg to the annual meeting of the Historic Virginia Land Conservancy, previously known as the Williamsburg Land Conservancy.

The land of Poplar Springs and Oak Grove Farms are part of this Conservancy.
Protected Property: Poplar Springs Farm

One of the folks who were honored at this event was the attorney who works with the landowners as they are placing property into the Conservancy. 

He shared an interesting photograph - any guesses as to where these two pictures were taken? The car in front of the store is a 1955 (according to my brother) - so the picture on the left was mid-to-late 50s. Answer to come in a later blog entry!

A few weeks ago, a filmmaker came to the farm and interviewed Jimmy about his participation in the conservancy - and the unveiling of the video occurred at the annual meeting. It was really great to share with the directors and officers of the organization in seeing this for the first time. I have only found the video on Facebook - so I don't know whether folks can access it who aren't on Facebook...

Jimmy's part starts just after the 2 minute mark, and scenes from around the farm are sprinkled throughout.

I am so proud of Jimmy expressing the heritage of our family in this way!!!
