Please join us in partnership with the Ivy Creek Foundation, Albemarle County Parks and Recreation and the City of Charlottesville Parks and Recreation on Sunday, October 30 either in-person at 1 pm or virtually at 1:30pm for the unveiling of the historic marker and program honoring River View Farm, the Carr/Greer family, as well as their contributions to our community. The program will include the unveiling of the historic marker, a brief family history about the farm, self-guided farm tour, and reception. This event will also celebrate River View Farm being added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Albemarle County Community Remembrance Project is a Board of Supervisors’ initiative to support the sharing of Albemarle County history. It is specifically intended to broaden the scope of our publicly told histories and to be more inclusive of our complete community.

As part of the Community Remembrance project, the County’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion invited members of the Historic Preservation Committee to assist in efforts to increase the number of roadside markers in the county recognizing women and people of color whose stories and contributions have historically been excluded from County markers. River View Farm was one of the historic locations selected. The marker and its unveiling will be taking place at Ivy Creek Natural Area and historic River View Farm and you can also join virtually via Zoom at 1:30pm. Here are the details to join the webinar:
