SUMMARY:Cemetery Tour of Jacksonville Burial Ground with Gino Williams
DESCRIPTION:Join Floyd County Historical Society President Gino Williams on a tour of the Jacksonville Burial Ground\, notable for its historical signicance as well as its unparalled view of the region’s skyline. \nWhen the old Jacksonville Cemetery in town (located off the street in the first block of South Locust St.) began to reach capacity in the early 1850s\, J.P. Proffitt conveyed “2 acres and 36 poles” of land to Z. T. Dobyns and others to establish the new cemetery. \nWe will meet at the Gazebo\, learn about the Burial Ground’s history\, and discuss the lives of some of those buried there. (The Gazebo is near the highest point of the tract\, towards the front corner\, towards the center of town.)

SUMMARY:Native American Ritual Stone Construction in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Region

SUMMARY:History's Fingerprints with Ben Jackson
DESCRIPTION:One man’s retirement was the beginning of a course of study about his origins. The pursuit led him to an unusual hunting expedition amid the handmade bricks from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that can still be found in buildings around Southwest Virginia. He’s been tracking down the handprints of slaves. Join us as we explore the historic Masonic Lodge to see what clues have been left behind by the people who made the brick.
