A place worth knowing
Make room for Farmville.
Give Farmville time for the students and communities behind its civil rights story. Pair a thoughtfully chosen collection with a meal or a suitable trail interval, rather than rushing the interpretation. Museum buildings and High Bridge trail approaches have separate arrangements.
