“First, freedom is never free; in fact, it has always been bought at great cost, whether on the battlefield, in the legislative assembly, in the law courts, in the schoolroom, or in synagogues, temples or churches. Also, it is never self-perpetuating, but has had to be re-won again and again.” ~Author unknown, 1960s
Independence Day means so much more this year as we celebrate our freedom to be with each other and enjoy the amazing art, culture and history this region has to offer. Let us, too, remember the sacrifice that has gone before us – this past year and in years gone by. And also remember there is so much work left to do in order to bring our community back to
SUMMARY
Organized in 1889, the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA), currently known as APVA/Preservation Virginia, was the nation’s first statewide historic preservation organization. Spearheaded by an elite mix of female antiquarians and their “gentlemen advisers,” it became a sanctioned instrument of conservatives who strove to counter social and political changes after the American Civil War (1861–1865) by emphasizing southern history and tradition. The APVA enshrined old buildings, graveyards, and historical sites many of which were forlorn, if not forgotten and exhibited them as symbols of Virginia’s identity. As the national preservation movement evolved, the APVA became less overtly political and now identifies itself as a professional organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the Commonwealth’s heritage.

The Chief Justice credited with shaping the U.S. Supreme Court donned this very robe sitting on the bench.

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Richmond is known for its rich history, and now a piece of that history is back in the commonwealth.
The only surviving judicial robe of Chief Justice John Marshall is back on display.
Since the early 2000s, the John Marshall robe has been taken down because it was too fragile, but since its recent conservation, the robe has returned in a 7-foot wide, 6-foot tall glass display.
