The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the
Treasure House lecture series will take place at noon on Tuesday, 14
June 2005, in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby in the Library
of Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond. Lyle
Browning, an archaeologist and frequent LVA researcher, will discuss how
plat of a land transaction hiding in plain sight in the archives led to
the re-evaluation of several historic maps and popular legend. The
discovery also led to the tracing of a railroad through the backyards of
homes in the Salisbury subdivision in Chesterfield County. The railroad
showed that competing business interests could sometimes cooperate for
their mutual benefit. 
 
There is free underground parking for Library patrons, but please note
that space is limited. For more information on this and other progams
