Graves Chapel, Built 1885 What a fun day trip ...we got to see this beauty.  We were super lucky to have the "care taker" there when we did show up ...we did stay socially distant ... he looked around and walked out ...the village of Graves Mill is just amazing. Please be sure if you have missed these recent posts to play catch up. Thank you so kindly for stopping by. Take Care. Beth ( ;  Linking Up to: "InSPIREd Sunday"

A pretty neat little community ...very cool to see that in 2020 they are still pretty close-knitted, they sure don't make areas like this much any more, very very cool ...i'll be sharing the church soon. Stay tuned. "Village of Graves Mill The community is named for the Thomas and Sarah Dulaney Graves family and their gristmill. They settled here in the mid 1700s. Early on. tobacco and flour were taken to Fredericksburg and shipped to foreign and domestic ports. In the late 1800s apples and other products were shipped to train depots at Gordonsville or Somerset. The village supported families from the mountains and foothills..." Hope you are well this week.

HEY THERE!! Hope you are well this week...  this can be seen within the historic Old City Cemetery, Lynchburg, VA. ((signage there by the chapel)) Chapel and Columbarium This chapel was modeled after the 1880 Ivy Chapel Union Church in Bedford County. Most of the construction materials and furnishings were salvaged from the demolition of the c. 1870 Hermon Methodist Church at Oakville in Appomattox County. The bell was specially cast for the Cemetery Chapel by the preeminent Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, England. Today the Chapel pays tribute to the many religious leaders buried in the Cemetery since 1806. It also provides a unique setting for funerals, weddings, and other special occasions. The Columbarium in the lower level of the Chapel contains niches and crypts fro the final resting place of future generations of Lynchburg's citizens.  The Chapel and Columbarium we completed in 2006 to mark the bicentenary of the Cemetery.   Thanks, for stopping by.

((signage at the museum)) "Station House Museum This Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Station was in use at Stapleton in Amherst County, VA from 1898 until 1937. It is the only remaining C&O "Standard Station" of its size and style.  In 1999-2001 the badly-deteriorated Station was dismantled board-by-board and reconstructed here to interpret the importance of railroads in the history of Lynchburg. Through employment, war, and accident, thousand of people buried in this cemetery lived and died by the railroad. The furnishings and instruments in the Station Agent, Passenger, and Baggage Rooms are typical of the World ...

Nethers Mill, Etlan, Virginia, 22719 The hubby just loved this mill so so much!! It was really so well taken care of ...I wish all pieces like this, such history would be taken care so similarly.

Millwood Mill, Cismont, Virginia We took a day drive through the country and got to see this beauty. Early July 2020. My hubby can go "mill crazy" ...thankfully around Virginia are these amazing architectural treasures. so amazing. The hubby saw a vulture while visiting this one ...he was so shocked that he (she) didn't move??! I figured the bird was waiting on the hubby to move or die?? That is what vultures do, right? They are always looking for a snack. It was a pretty day. Not cool, the humidity was nuts ...Virginia summer usually stay in the temperature range of 70 degrees or above, rarely any wind (unless u have the fan moving said air) and usually an afternoon thunderstorm. It was a fun getaway for the day. More pictures from that day I will share next week. Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;
