Morven Park; Leesburg, VA

VAM recently traveled to Leesburg, Virginia on August 22, 2013 for the presentation of our popular summer conservation workshop and historic Morven Park was the perfect location. 


Expert speakers, Alyson Rhodes-Murphy (Henrico County and Jana Shafogoj (Morven Park), presented the day-long session 'Care of Historic Structures' to a full house of 35 attendees. Below are a few photos from our beautiful day in horse country. 

Our mascot 'Virgil' makes some big friends!

Workshop attendees were able to get hands-on training on how to assess historic structures on a tour of Morven Park's outside buildings. 

What a great day we had! Be sure to visit Morven Park and the many amazing historic and cultural sites in the Leesburg area.
