Events in the Town of Amherst

Dick Whitehead of the Historical Society of Nelson County will talk about the life of Parson Rose, who came to the Virginia Colony at the age of 21, just ordained in England. Preaching was his calling, but he developed other areas of expertise, such as surveying, inventing the double canoe for transporting tobacco, medical treatments, etc. Light refreshments will be served.

This program is sponsored by the Amherst County Museum and Historical Society and the Historical Society of Nelson County with support from the Town of Amherst.
