Regular listeners of our podcasts might know Rick Britton. He’s an award-winning historian and cartographer and a frequent guest on WINA’s Charlottesville Right Now with Coy Barefoot.

This fall the Senior Center, Inc. is offering a new class entitled "Virginia History 101."

Designed for recent Albemarle County transplants and retirees—as well as for those just now delving into Virginia’s fascinating past—this class focuses on the big topics in our state’s early history. The most populous of the original 13 states, the Old Dominion flourished thanks to an addictive weed. Virginia witnessed the Revolution’s final major campaign, and gave rise to an architectural style that set the standard for the nation. While Virginia-born politicians dominated our young republic’s first four decades, the state also left behind painful legacies regarding its treatment of both Native Virginians and African Americans. Join us as we explore some of the big issues in Virginia’s early history!
