Anderson Center- Kendal Hall
160 Kendal Drive
Lexington
With many new residents moving to Kendal, a theme of programs “Knowing Rockbridge: Connecting the History and Culture of our Home” seems like a good way for the new folks – indeed all of us – to get to know more about this lovely and interesting place where we live.
There are many museums in our Rockbridge area, with at least five museums in the City of Lexington open most of the time, and even more if one includes places like The Miller’s House, which is open certain hours on weekends (and we’re not counting the various art galleries!) All tell the story of our area. Each month during 2020, we’ll have a talk about an individual museum or attraction combined with a follow-up visit to an appropriate site.
To kick off the theme on Wednesday, January 15 at 3:00 pm, we’ll have a panel discussion with Lynn Rainville, the recently appointed Director of Institutional History at Washington & Lee University; Keith Gibson, Executive Director of Museums at Virginia Military Insti-tute; and Eric Wilson, Executive Director of the Rockbridge Historical Society, which operates the Campbell House. Wine reception following. Free and open to the public.
