Next Meeting on January 11th in Farmville
Notice of Annual Meeting
Workshop - Railroads of Farmville - Richard McClintock - Farmville came into existence at a transportation crossroads, where the main north-south trail crossed the navigable Appomattox River. It really blossomed when the South Side Rail Road came through in 1854. But two other railroads later featured in Farmville's history: a north-south road which might have turned Farmville into Ashland, on the dominant north-south route, and a narrow-gauge road that led to an international shipping port on the James River. The town saw five-foot, standard, and narrow gauges. Clinic will explore the history and fates of these three roads, with lots of anecdotes and vintage photos.
