About this Event

It's Your Historic Place - James Monroe's Highland: Creating Value by Preserving History.


Sara Bon-Harper, Highland’s Executive Director, will discuss initiatives that create meaningful history for Highland’s visitors and other stakeholders. Her presentation will include the research that revealed the forgotten history of the site, and the collaborations that have developed stories that connect to wider communities. The past decade has been a time of great change for Highland, and this talk will connect those changes with larger themes in historic preservation.

Join us afterward for light refreshments.


This program is part of the Historic Preservation Lecture Series, created in partnership with Preservation Piedmont, the Albemarle County Historic Preservation Committee, and the City of Charlottesville Historic Resources Committee.


The Historic Preservation Series is generously sponsored by Commonwealth Contracts.
