Drive-Thru History: Virginia Viniculture

  • Virginia Piedmont Heritage Area 1461 Atoka Road Marshall United States (map)

Stop by the Rector house and enjoy some history outdoors. Bring a blanket, a picnic dinner, and your curiosity as we explore different local history topics!

This week we welcome Dr. Joe Rizzo, Director of the Loudoun Museum, to discuss the history of wine making in Virginia. The industry has boomed all across the Virginia Piedmont in the last few decades, but it has its roots all the way back in the colonial era. The Loudoun Museum will also be displaying their new travelling exhibit on the history of Virginia wine.
  
We ask that all visitors please wear masks and respect a 6 foot social distance. This event is free and open to all ages.
