An organization devoted to promoting the history of Albemarle County’s only town as well as the culture of the James River closes every year for the winter. Every spring, the Scottsville Museum reopens with a public event and that will happen this year on April 7.
“They are going to be celebrating that with a talk that is going to be at the museum at 3 p.m. that day that is going to focus on the history of preserving historically Black schools in the region,” said Supervisor Mike Pruitt at a recent Board meeting.
The speaker will be Jody Lahendro who has been working with the St. John Family Life and Fitness Center on the renovation of an old Rosenwald School in eastern Albemarle County.
