SUMMARY:Preservation Month Tours of Salubria
DESCRIPTION:To honor National Historic Preservation Month\, Historic Germanna invites you to step back in time to explore the architectural legacy of Salubria. \nThanks to funding from the Semiquincentennial grant from the Historic Preservation Fund administered by the National Park Service\, Department of the Interior\, we are amid the process of preparing a comprehensive Historic Structures Report for Salubria. As we undertake this process\, we’re offering a rare opportunity to experience Salubria like never before. \nJoin us for exclusive\, small-group tours that focus on the architecture\, history\, and ongoing preservation efforts of this remarkable site. Get up close and personal with the remarkable craftmanship of the house\, made by hand by 18th century free and enslaved craftspeople\, and augmented by later preservation projects. Visitors will even have the chance to experience the rarely-seen second floor and cellar.\nEach tour will be led by renowned experts in the field. \nDoug Harnsberger\, Preservation Architect\, will lead a tour on May 2. Kathy Ellis\, Salubria Historian\, will lead a tour on May 9. Gordon Lohr\, Historic Architecture Scholar\, will lead the tour on May 23. Finally\, Shannon Doherty\, Historic Germanna Education Manager\, will lead the tour on May 30.\nTogether\, they’ll share insights into Salubria’s construction\, craftsmanship\, and the stories its walls have held for centuries. \nTours will be offered on four Fridays in May: May 2\, May 9\, May 23\, and May 30. Each tour begins at 10:00am. Registration is required for each tour\, as space is limited. Tickets are available for a suggested donation of $10 on Historic Germanna’s Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite.com/o/historic-germanna-19738501044). \nDon’t miss this chance to engage with history and preservation firsthand in honor of a month dedicated to protecting the past for future generations.
