SUMMARY:Shenandoah’s Page Valley Style: The Painted Furniture of John Spitler\, 1790-1806
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual lecture series. April will feature Elizabeth A. Davison\, Independent Decorative Arts Historian.  \nA discussion of three generations of Spitlers\, the history and material culture of the Page Valley in current day Page County\,  Virginia\, and how this history and material culture is reflected in John Spitler’s painted designs. The Page Valley is a small valley geographically and culturally associated with the Shenandoah Valley\, located between the Massanutten and Blue Ridge mountain ranges. Massanutten is the settlement where the Spitlers lived and worked\, but the Page Valley is really the area\, hemmed in by the two mountain ranges that protected the Rhenish/Swiss culture for three generations allowing it to flourish despite its settlers trading outside the Valley with English settlers.  Ms. Davison is currently working on a book on Spitler as well as an accompanying exhibit are expected in spring\, 2020. \nImage Credit: “Courtesy Museum of the Shenandoah Valley\, Winchester\, VA.

SUMMARY:Finding the Rainbow: The Effort to Diversify Virginia's Historical Highway Markers Program
DESCRIPTION:\n The Virginia Historical Highway Markers Program was established in 1927. At 91 years\, it is oldest state-sponsored marker program in the United States. Not surprisingly\, the topics selected for the markers in the first decades of its existence were about the Colonial and Antebellum eras\, and the Civil War. It was not a program that presented the diversity of the people in the Commonwealth – in fact\, during its first 50 years\, only five markers even made reference to African Americans. \n\n\n \n\n\nThat situation began to change after WWII\, but only picked up steam in 1990 under the leadership of Governor Douglas Wilder. To-date there are more than 250 markers that focus exclusively on African American citizens or events of statewide or national significance to them. An additional 50 or so markers make reference to the contributions African Americans made to Virginia as enslaved people. The achievements of women have also become more well-represented since the early days of the program\, however\, there is still much work to be done; ethnic groups other than African Americans are still poorly represented\, and DHR has yet to erect a marker that acknowledges to Queer history. \n\n\n \n\n\nDHR is proud\, however\, to announce the publication of A Guidebook to Virginia’s African America Historical Markers and this talk by James Hare\, DHR’s Director of the Division of Survey and Register\, will focus on the challenges and achievements that have been made to place markers in the light at the end of the rainbow.\n \n\n\n\nThis event is Free and open to public In Partnership with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.\n\n \n\nText for link \n

The Lastones inclusive musical style makes every show feel like a small party with your best friends. Jeremy is the band’s song writer and lead singer. He draws from personal experiences and classical books for his writing inspirations. Rob Squatrito’s complex chording through his old twin reverb amp creates unique textures of tones that enhance the eclectic nature of their songs. \n\n
