VLCF Funded Projects
Virginia’s working farms and forests, battlefields and other historic sites, natural areas, parks and rivers are critical to its economy, culture and quality of life. In 1999, the assembly and governor established the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation (VLCF) to fund protection of these resources. The interactive map below depicts VLCF-grant projects funded since 2000.

Following acquisition, the property was placed under a historic preservation easement with the Department of Historic Resources. The property will be open as a museum and the three existing structures interpreted for their importance in the industrial and cultural history of Virginia.
