SUMMARY:House to Highway: Reclaiming a Community History
DESCRIPTION:On display July 14\, 2025 through Feb. 28\, 2026.\n\nThe 
 Library's free exhibition on the history of Richmond's Jackson Ward 
 neighborhood\, "House to Highway: Reclaiming a Community History\," will 
 explore the historic district that was once the center of Richmond’s 
 Black community through the lens of the Skipwith-Roper family. Using a 
 combination of archival records\, maps and photographs from the Library’s 
 collection\, the exhibition covers a period from 1767 through the 1950s\, 
 when eminent domain displaced many residents and businesses of Jackson Ward 
 for the construction of the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike.\n \nThe 
 exhibition is presented in partnership with The JXN Project (JXN)\, a 
 historic preservation nonprofit organization dedicated to capturing the 
 pivotal role of the ward in the Black American experience as one of the 
 country’s first historically registered Black urban neighborhoods. \n 
 \nFree parking is available underneath the Library of Virginia at 800 East 
 Broad Street\, Richmond\, Virginia.
