Since we're passing through Fredericksburg, VA...Again...I thought I'd look into its history: The City of Fredericksburg was established by an act of the Virginia General Assembly in 1728, on land originally patented by John Buckner and Thomas Royston of Essex County in 1681. It was named for Frederick, Prince of Wales (1707-51), eldest son of King George II of Great Britain and father of King George III. Its older streets still bear the names of members of the British royal family.

@digitaldynamos, we did it!!! Thank you all for the support in finishing the virtual race. 💜❤️💙

What is the history of Drakes Branch VA? The town of Drakes Branch takes its name from an early settler whose name was Drake and who had his habitat on the little stream which runs through the town. It had its birth with the advent of the Southern (Richmond and Danville) Railroad in 1852.

Soooo, now that we're back in Farmville, VA, here's a Black History Month fact you may be interested in: Farmville is home to a National Historic Landmark, the R. Moton Museum. Previously a high school, the Moton Museum tells the story of a 1951 student strike that helped ignite the Civil Rights era. On April 23, 1951, Barbara Johns, a 16-year-old student, led her classmates in a strike to protest the conditions at Robert Russa Moton High School, claiming they were “vastly inferior” to those attended by white students at nearby Farmville High school. The strike got the attention of NAACP lawyers and, in 1954, the Farmville case was one of five reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown v Board of Education.

There's GOLD in thar hills!!! So, I'm passing through the small town of Mineral, VA and wondered how it got it's name...well...read below to find out!!! Town of Mineral Originally known as Tolersville, this charming town adopted its current name in 1902 from the many mines that supported the local economy. Iron, gold, zinc, lead and pyrite mines were all located in this area. At one time, no fewer than 15 gold mines were located within 2 miles of town.

Since we're currently in Brookeville, MD, I thought you might be interested in knowing about the Oakley Cabin African American Museum and Park. An African American roadside community lived and worked on this historic site from emancipation well into the 20th century. Their culture and traditions heavily influenced those of surrounding communities, and their story is deeply woven into Montgomery County’s rich history. At the center of this site is Oakley Cabin, which was inhabited until 1976 and now serves as a living history museum.

Some early facts about the first inhabitants of the great state of Maryland... Who first settled in Maryland? The first inhabitants of Maryland were Paleo-Indians who came more than 10,000 years ago from other parts of North America to hunt mammoth, great bison and caribou. By 1,000 B.C., Maryland had more than 8,000 Native Americans in about 40 different tribes. Most of them spoke Algonquian languages.

I got us to Yorkana! The population was noted to be 235 in 2021!
Allison - Thanks for the note about Yorkana...now tell the truth... did you stimulate the economy for those 235 individuals by making a purchase or two? Inquiring minds would love to know!!! LOL
@MrPrez Of course! I bought a bottle of water and some ice cream! Happy to support this small town!
@allisonlewinski - Always helps to stimulate the local economy!!

How did Burlington NC get its name? In 1866, the railroad moved its repair facilities to Spencer, North Carolina. With the departure of the railroad, Company Shops residents felt the need for a more appropriate name. They selected Burlington as the town's new name and made it official in 1893 when the City was chartered and incorporated.

Ding...Ding...Ding...Nancy, you are correct. You a free chocolate bar of your choosing...as long as its the one I have chosen! Its in your mailbox! The story behind that song was: According to songwriter Bobby Hart, the track wasn't specifically written about Clarksville, Tennessee. Hart, however, also said the song is indirectly about a soldier leaving for the Vietnam War, and Clarksville's proximity to Fort Campbell does fit the storyline! There's also a Clarksville, NC, Clarksville, VA and in 25 other states!! WOW....who knew!!
-
So...it looks like we're coming into Clarksville...who remembers the famous song about Clarksville and who was going to meet us at the station?
-
I thought that Farmville, VA would be like Farmville on FB...apparently not!! LOL

To commemorate Black History Month, DUSON is hosting a month-long virtual race for students, staff and faculty. The event is sponsored by the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
Teams of 20 will compete to cover a 1,000 mile route visiting various landmarks associated with Julian Abele, the African American architect responsible for much of Duke's West Campus, including the Duke Chapel.
Participants can log a variety of activities including swimming, cycling, rowing, yoga, running and walking that will convert into virtual miles on the route. Participation is free for members of the DUSON community.
Exercise anywhere you want. Then log the activity and see your team's avatar move across the route. Catch a Google Street View of the new virtual locale, then cheer your real fellow racers! Share your bib on social media! Brag about your streaks or longest mileage!
We've got racers all over the globe! So to keep everyone on the same page, we've come up with some handy guidelines:
