Northern Neck Cultural Landscape SymposiumOctober 22-24, 2010More detailed information about site visits, speakers and fees will be posted soon.
Each year this residential symposium takes a different theme. For 2009, Stratford Hall, in cooperation with the Menokin Foundation, presented a program entitled "Cultural Landscapes of Virginia’s Northern Neck: The Art and Mystery of Building in Early Virginia." This year's symposium will emphasize the landscape, particularly those formally designed landscapes of the colonial and early national periods. It will examine in depth the gardens and "big house" landscapes that were a necessary complement to colonial plantation seats.
Who Should Attend Participants will find themselves in stimulating company with many opportunities to discuss the lectures and tour destinations in congenial settings. By the symposium's end, participants will have taken a fresh look at the early history of Virginia's Northern Neck landscape and how it has intersected with larger trends in American history.
