"History, by apprising them of the past,
will enable them to judge of the future."
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1786
The Albemarle County Historic Preservation Committee is charged with protecting the County's historic and cultural resources. The Committee takes an active role in identifying and documenting structures of importance to the community.
The Historic Preservation Plan was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on September 6, 2000 and was prepared by a Historic Preservation Committee that was appointed by the Board in May 1995. The Historic Preservation Plan is an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, and provides a framework for public involvement in protecting the community's historic resources. It reviews the County's history, and emphasizes education, financial incentives, and partnerships among all interest groups.

Pleasant Green, Crozet, Albemarle County, Virginia
The original log cabin portion of Pleasant Green was built around 1815. Jeremiah Wayland purchased the property and expanded the house in 1832. Claudius Crozet took room and board at Pleasant Green in 1849, when he surveyed the area for the construction of the Greenwood and Blue Ridge railroad tunnels. The house was once the social center of the community and is today one of the oldest standing homes in Crozet.
