Come join us at the iconic locale of the Presidents Heads for the 1st Annual "Day of Virginia's Abandoned and Forgotten". We plan to come together to celebrate the memory of Virginia's numerous forlorn and demolished landmarks, all of which deserve to be commemorated through beautiful art and powerful stories. Guests will not only have the opportunity to witness the internationally renowned and derelict Presidents Heads up close and personal, but will be surrounded by captivating images of dozens of Virginia's most beautifully abandoned houses, churches, schools, asylums, diners and other structures, all of which were captured by Virginia's premiere "abandoned" photographers while frozen on the continuum of time. In addition to John Plashal, author of the popular coffee table book, "A Beautifully Broken Virginia", storytelling about what occurred within the walls of his abandoned discoveries throughout the day, our afternoon guests can hear those stories FIRSTHAND from inhabitants that once occupied these long abandoned and forgotten places. Presidential trivia with PRIZES will be held during all three sessions and merchandise such as prints, puzzles and books will also be available for sale.
