Press Event: Save These Historic Resources

May 3, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Please join the Rockfish Valley Foundation (RVF), 1368 Rockfish Valley Highway, Nellysford, VA, on Tuesday May 3, 2016 at 10 a.m. for an event intended to create state-wide awareness for the archaeology site of the Coleman Mills and Old Wintergreen Village. On the program will be Preservation Virginia, Nelson County Historical Society, Nelson Board of Supervisor Allen Hale and the Rockfish Valley Foundation. The two historic and cultural resources have been recognized by Governor McAuliffe as Virginia Treasures and by Preservation Virginia as endangered sites. They are the center of the South Rockfish Valley Historic District. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline will destroy them. RVF has worked hard over the last year to achieve recognition for these historic resources, and wants to take public their efforts to defend the Rockfish Valley and the culture and history of this special place from the destructive impacts of the proposed pipeline. TV and other media will be present, so this is a great time to have a big crowd to protest the damage the pipeline would do.
