NEWS & VIEWS What’s Happening in Town? VFH’s BackStory Celebrates Episode 200! For more than nine years, BackStory, produced by Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, has taken its audience on an exploration of the history behind today’s headlines. Created by Andrew Wyndham and first introduced as a Car Talk-style monthly radio show in 2008, BackStory then featured noted historians Peter Onuf, Ed Ayers, and Brian Balogh as its hosts. Today, BackStory is a weekly podcast with historians Joanne Freeman and Nathan Connolly joining Ayers and Balogh. Together they continue to make history engaging, accessible, and often downright fun. The celebration began when BackStory’s 200th episode debuted on its podcast network partner, Panoply. In the episode, the hosts contextualized the fast-paced news of the day, explored an archive segment still relevant to today’s headlines, and brought back founding host Peter Onuf. Festivities continued through the following week with giveaways, favorite memories from hosts, and a soft launch of BackStory’s new website. Listeners are encouraged to submit a favorite episode or memory using #BackStory200 on their favorite social media platform. Listeners have supported BackStory from the beginning and continued support is key to our growth. So, fans old and new can help ensure BackStory achieves another 200 episodes by supporting production through this Booster fundraiser: https://www.customink.com/fundraising/backstory200. Through the years, BackStory has looked at pivotal points in history with a fresh perspective, or revealed lesser-known moments with curiosity. Hundreds of guests and listeners have contributed their voices to shows, while thousands more tuned in every week. Today, BackStory is downloaded millions of times every year by listeners around the globe. About BackStory. BackStory brings historical perspective to the America of today. Each week, U.S. historians Ed Ayers, Brian Balogh, Joanne Freeman,

and Nathan Connolly look at current issues and trace them back to their roots in American history. From the days of the Early Republic to the 21st century, BackStory reveals the connections (and disconnections) between the past and the present. BackStory makes history accessible for listeners—not only in the United States, but around the globe— and is freely available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher or other favorite podcast apps. About Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. The mission of Virginia Foundation for the Humanities (VFH) is to connect people and ideas to explore the human experience and inspire cultural engagement. VFH reaches an estimated annual audience of 23 million through community programs, digital initiatives, grants and fellowships, radio programs, and the Virginia Center for the Book. To learn more, visit VirginiaHumanities.org.

Virginia Foundation for the Humanities Announces Twelve New Grants Virginia Foundation for the Humanities (VFH) announces $65,200 in recent grants to twelve nonprofit organizations in support of public humanities programs for audiences throughout the Commonwealth and beyond. The VFH Grant Program responds directly to the interests and concerns of local communities in Virginia, as well as to the needs of the educational organizations that serve them. Since 1974, VFH has awarded more than 3,500 grants, bringing scholars and citizens together to promote a greater understanding of the humanities. VFH grant projects reach an estimated annual audience of 1.5 million, with an average 4:1 dollar match. Matthew Gibson, VFH executive director, comments: “Virginia Foundation for the Humanities’ work has touched every city, county, and district across the state and beyond. Our grants are often the initial source of funding, helping ambitious projects find a foothold and supporting small organizations that encourage connections and discoveries at the most local level.” As a result of VFH grant funding, exhibits, public forums and discussions, media programs (film, video, radio, and

digital media), publications, research, teachers’ institutes and seminars, oral history projects, lectures and conferences, and other kinds of programs have harnessed the power of the humanities to address important issues and enrich the cultural life of the state. The following organizations received grants from VFH in June 2017: 1882 Foundation (Fairfax): $7,000—A series of film screenings and discussion programs on the history of Asian Americans, particularly Chinese Americans, in Virginia and the United States.

Center for Community and Family Development (Onley): $7,000—A project to catalog, digitize and make available to public audiences and researchers a large collection of documents related to the history of African American life on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, the result of 30 years of research by one of Virginia’s leading community historians. Eastern Shore Training and Consulting, Inc. (ESTACI) (Exmore): $3,000—Planning for a new “African American History Tour” of sites on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, with an initial focus on the story of Outlaw’s Blacksmith Shop in Onancock. Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum (Wytheville): $5,000— An exhibit and related public programs focusing on the life, leadership, and historic contributions of Wytheville native and former First Lady of the U.S. Edith Bolling Wilson. Field Studio (Richmond): $7,500— Production of a documentary film on John Dabney, a legendary chef and caterer who worked at the highest levels of Richmond society and began building his skills and reputation while he was still enslaved. Red Dirt Productions (North Garden): $7,500—Research, script development, and pre-production of key Virginia stories to be included as part of a feature-length documentary film exploring the intersection of Native, African, and European food traditions in the American South. Jefferson School African American Heritage Center (Charlottesville): $7,500—A series of sixteen filmed interviews exploring the personal impact and

experience of race and racism among long-time residents of Charlottesville. Old Church Gallery, Ltd. (Floyd): $5,000—A multi-faceted project to promote and facilitate public access to a trove of oral history interviews and primary documents - the result of a nine-year effort to collect the stories of Floyd County residents who came of age during the Great Depression and World War II. Richmond Jazz Society (Richmond): $5,000—An interpretive exhibit on the early years of Jazz in Virginia (1900 - 1949), with an emphasis on the musical culture of the Richmond area during this period.

The park includes an arboretum of native trees and shrubs, a two-acre pond, and Carter Overlook—a small plaza paved with bluestone and ringed by a low seat-wall with views towards Charlottesville, western Albemarle County, and the Blue Ridge

Monticello

As one of 13 colonies that declared independence from Britain in 1776 and formed the United States of America, Virginia is rich in early American history. Thomas Jefferson began building the three-story, twenty-oneroom neoclassical mansion he called “Monticello” (little mountain) in 1768, and never really stopped, remodeling it frequently until his death in 1826. Visitors to the home, gardens, and grounds today will learn much about the daily life of the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence and served as our

third president, and also about the enslaved African-Americans whose labor made that lifestyle possible. Monticello is open daily, year ‘round, and offers a variety of ticketed tours and viewing options, including but not limited to a Slavery Tour, a Gardens and Ground Tour, and South

Mountains. The two-mile Saunders-Monticello Trail winds through the park before ascending the side of Carter Mountain toward Monticello. Check the Monticello website to make sure it’s open and clear of fallen trees.

Highland

Just up the road from Monticello is James Monroe’s Highland (formerly Ash Lawn-Highland), where Monroe and family resided from 1799 to 1823. The main residence was destroyed by fire in the mid-19th century, but a portion of its large chimney base, several sections of its stone-wall foundations, and segments of thicker walls belonging to its stone cellar have recently been uncovered. What had long been considered Monroe’s actual house is now known to have served as a guest house during his presidency from 1817 to 1825. Today it is furnished with pieces owned by the Monroe family, as well as period pieces and reproductions. As in Monroe’s day, the grounds feature both ornamental and utilitarian gar-

Montpelier and Exchange Hotel Civil War Medical Museum

At James Madison’s Montpelier, the future president studied books on governance and developed a vision for the United States Constitution that he would later play a key role in drafting. In recent years the mansion on Route 20 has been restored to the way it looked when James and his famously hospitable wife Dolley welcomed guests to their nearly 2,700-acre estate with its magnificent views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Visitors can tour the drawing room, dining room and library, follow the progress of ongoing interior restoration, see historic dens. A mature boxwood garden planted over a century ago is crowned with a white oak tree still standing from Monroe’s day, now twenty feet in circumference. From April through October, Highland is open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Tours last approximately forty minutes. Picnic tables and picnic blankets are available; lunches, snacks and beverages are for sale from the Museum Shop.

Michie Tavern

Just a half a mile down the road from Monticello is Michie Tavern, which offered food, drink and lodging in the late 18th century. The oldest section of the Tavern (circa 1784) is open for self-guided tours seven days a week, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:20 p.m. daily. The Armory & Artifacts Shop (circa 1790) specializes in antique firearms—long rifles, pistols, swords, artifacts, relics and accessories—predominantly from the mid-19th-century, but also from the Revolutionary era. In the rustic dining area called The Ordinary, servers in period attire offer Southern fare like fried chicken and pork barbecue, stewed tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and buttermilk biscuits from 11:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. April through October.

Poplar Forest

Less than 90 minutes from Charlottesville, in Bedford County, is Jefferson’s plantation and plantation house Poplar Forest, which he visited annually from 1810 through 1823. Considered Jefferson’s most mature architectural design, it reflects the influence of Greco-Roman, Renaissance Palladian and 18th century French architecture, as well as British and Virginian design. Designated a National His-

toric Landmark in 1971, Poplar Forest is being restored to its appearance in Jefferson’s day. Recent archaeological excavations have provided a fresh understanding of the Poplar Forest slave community and daily life on the plantation. Poplar Forest is open daily from mid-March through December 30 (except on Easter, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day)

explores the economic, ideological, and political roots of slavery in America, and the effect it has on contemporary thinking about race, identity, and human rights. The Montpelier’s Enslaved Community walking tour, included in the price of admission, highlights the irony of slave labor in a land where “all men are created equal.” The Journey from Slavery to Freedom Walking/ Driving Tour, Saturdays at 2:30 p.m., visits slave sites and structures near the mansion, including the Gilmore Cabin, built in 1873 by a former Montpelier slave, and a restored 1910 Train Depot with separate waiting rooms for black and white passengers. The current Visitor Center exhibition, “Queen of Hearts: Dolley Madison in Popular Culture” is inspired by Dolley’s posthumous, late-19th century career as America’s first female advertising icon. Montpelier is open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and visitors can also enjoy over eight miles of well-marked walking trails winding through horse pastures, wildflower meadows, and forests, with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In nearby Gordonsville the three-story building now called the Exchange Hotel Civil War Medical Museum was once a hotel for railroad passengers waiting while their trains were refueled. With its high ceiling parlors and its grand veranda, it must have been a welcome respite. Then the Civil War broke out and, in 1862, the Exchange Hotel became the Gordonsville Receiving Hospital, providing care for 70,000 soldiers, both Union and Confederate. During Reconstruction the hospital served as a Freedman’s Bureau, where assistance was offered to newly freed slaves. Today the building is a National Historic Landmark with exhibitions on its own history and the history of Gordonsville as a railroad town. Civil War medical artifacts including surgical instruments, pharmaceutical bottles, medical knapsacks and panniers, stretchers, litters, prosthetic devices, and dental tools are on display. Note: the building is not handicap-accessible.

Greene County Historical Society Museum

Greene County was carved out of Orange County in 1838 and named for American Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene, a major general of the Continental Army, whose successful command in the Southern Campaign forced British Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis out of the Carolinas and up to Virginia, where he surrendered to General Washington at

Yorktown. Today the Greene County Historical Society Museum is located in an early 20th century house at 360 Main Street in Stanardsville. While the 115,000-name database of county descendants may chiefly be of interest to local families, exhibitions like Home and Hearth in the early 1900s and The Greene War Story open a window on life in a simpler time. An exhibit called People Before the Park (Shenandoah National Park) is part of a Blue Ridge Heritage Project to memorialize families evicted during the creation of the park. The Museum is open from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and by appointment. Admission is free.

Staunton and Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum America’s 28th president, Woodrow Wilson, was born in Staunton in 1856. Although he lived there barely a year before moving to Georgia and then South Carolina, Staunton houses his Presidential Library and Museum in the Greek Revival manse where he was born, on a hill in the city’s Gospel Hill historic district.

Museum visitors can take self-guided tours through seven galleries devoted to Wilson’s early years and later presidency, as well as to period issues and events including suffrage, prohibition and World War I. Exhibitions include the President’s restored 1919 Pierce-Arrow limousine, World War I weapons and uniforms, and a stateof-the-art display recreating life in the trenches where so much of the war was endured. Children can enjoy scavenger hunts and hands-on activities in the Kids’ Corner. The research library is open by appointment. The Victorian-style terraced gardens behind the Manse were designed by Charles Gillette and planted in the early 1930s by The Garden Club of Virginia. The museum is open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Wilson’s birthplace is hardly the only impressive structure in Staunton. Originally one of the first settlements west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the city is lauded for its picturesque and well-preserved downtown and its charming and eclectic housing stock. The Colonial Revival-style Stonewall Jackson Hotel on South Market Street went up in 1924, but was in decrepit

condition by the 1980s. A $22 million restoration completed in 2005 preserved many of its original features, including chandeliers, wall sconces and marble floors. A Wurlitzer Organ dating to 1924 has been restored to its original state, making it the only known Wurlitzer of that vintage still in working condition. The Historic Staunton Foundation conducts free walking tours every Saturday from May through October. The approximately two-hour tours begin at 10:00 a.m., on the Emily Smith House porch adjacent to the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library on 24 North Coalter Street, and pass through four of Staunton’s six historic districts. No reservations are needed.

The American Shakespeare Center

While Staunton’s most noted architecture dates to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its celebrated indoor theatre—the 300-seat Blackfriars Playhouse—dates to only 2001, but faithfully recreates Shakespeare’s own indoor theatre built in London in 1596. Theater lovers from around the world are enthralled not only by the handsome and historically accurate performance space, but by the high-spirited, authentic, and engaging productions served up by its home company, The American Shakespeare Center. Three Shakespeare plays—Much Ado About Nothing, Love’s Labour’s Lost, and The Fall Of King Henry (Henry VI, Part 3)—are playing in rotation during the 2017 Summer/Fall season, along with the five-time Tony-winning Broadway hit Peter and the Starcatcher, an “action-packed coming-of-age prequel to Peter Pan” based on a novel co-written by humor columnist Dave Barry. Tours of the theatre take place Monday through Friday at 2:00 p.m. and Saturday at 11:00 a.m. and illuminate the ways in which staging conditions at the original Blackfriars shaped the works of Shakespeare and his fellow playwri ghts. n

“B

uy fresh, buy local” is a great little bumper sticker you see around these parts. And it’s a wonderful motto. When we shop local, we support our whole community and a great place to start is at farmers markets because the money we spend there stays right here. In fact, a Virginia Cooperative Extension study a few years back showed if each household in our five-county area (Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson) spent just $10 of their weekly grocery dollars on local produce and farm-based products, it would boost our economy to the tune of nearly $50 million a year! It’s likely those figures would be considerably higher today.

When she visits a farmers market, Dotson goes home with fresh veggies, pies or cakes or breads. “And plants,” she says enthusiastically. “Perennials. They grow so much better because they start right in our soil here.”

Markets Abound Farmers Markets are flourishing in Charlottesville and the seven surrounding counties. Charlottesville’s City Market is the largest in Central Virginia. Smaller markets are held in a variety of venues including subdivisions, community parks, and one of the newest, the Shops at Stonefield, is at the intersection of Hydraulic and Route 29. Each market has its own character. Some are shaded by big old trees while others are protected by vendors’ canopies. Many have Master Gardeners in

In addition, many related businesses such as orchards, berry patches, and restaurants benefit from our increasing appetite for locally grown food. Our vibrant farmers markets not only add to the economic health of our area, they add to that sometimes-hard-to-define concept called quality of life. REALTOR® Debi Dotson of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III wholeheartedly agrees. “We have a lot of people that are very interested in this grow-your-own concept, so our farmers markets help local people market their products,” she declares. “It’s also a cultural thing that folks really like getting things that are home-grown, homemade, and organic if possible.” There are social benefits as well, continues Dotson. “These markets are wonderful activities for new people to get acquainted and to display a community’s natural talent.” She points out that the U.S. is no longer a farming country and many people can’t even have a backyard garden. “We are so ‘tech-stuck’ these days,” she says. “Farmers markets bring kids and families together looking at things that are growing and alive. You have this human contact and young people get excited. For example, I love it when kids see that people can make soap, not just buy it at the store.”

attendance offering gardening expertise such as pest identification and recommendations for home gardens. Much of the charm of visiting markets is discovering what makes each one different. Will you find a wonderful new bread for your table or an unusual plant for your garden? What else might you find? Here’s a short list: fresh seasonal produce, often organic, including fruits and veggies. Honey, preserves of all sorts, flavored vinegars, chutney, eggs, meat, cheese, baked goods. Beyond edibles you’ll often find candles, jewelry, sewn or knitted items, pottery, woodcraft, furniture, soap, organic doggie snacks, children’s clothes, and flowers in bouquets, pots or as seedlings, and ceramics from mugs to a handsome container for making a casserole. In addition, some artists work right at the market. It might be a weaver with a small loom, a jewelry maker, or a face painter. Some markets have activities specifically for children. An especially appealing feature of a typical market is the chance to visit face-to-face with the growers, bakers, cooks, and artists. Many markets have ready-to-eat food and beverages prepared on the spot with tables and seating to enjoy right there. Others have

The site also includes information about CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), which are a way for consumers to buy local, seasonal produce directly from a farmer in their community through a farm share, usually supplied weekly or bi-weekly. n Marilyn Pribus lives in Albemarle County near Charlottesville.

regular musical performances—from youth musicians to old-timey fiddlers— that will appeal to the entire family. Not all items are available at all Farmers Markets all the time. Some vendors participate at only one market, others miss a time now and then, and a number of items are seasonal. Many shoppers visit different markets on different days. Most markets typically have a waiting list of vendors and some fill in whenever they can until a permanent slot opens up. Some markets, such as Charlottesville’s City Market, support SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) where food stamps may be converted to wooden “coins” redeemable for foods to be taken home for preparation. The first ten dollars are doubled so SNAP shoppers get a valuable bonus towards farm-fresh foods. The City Market also offers sidewalk space for tables and exhibits about various causes to let shoppers know what the advocates are passionate about and

garner support for their missions—everything from supporting the local high school wrestling team or a group of women teaching home canning skills to environmental and political groups.
