The Occasional Odd Duck

Spotted along the Hawksbill Creek a while back, this female Wood Duck was keeping company with the Greenway's usual Mallard crowd. Every now and then, the Greenway surprises us with an unexpected visitor. Have you spotted an "odd duck" along the Greenway? Share your sightings with us!

VA250 Plaque Dedication on the Greenway

As America celebrates our 250th year of independence, events throughout the US and Virginia are commemorating this important anniversary. One such event is happening on the Greenway this holiday weekend, the dedication of a new Virginia250 plaque and marker.

Page County's eleven VA250 Committee members have been working hard to document and plan events honoring the area's early colonial history. Since Yager Spring was so important to the founding and economy of Luray, the Town chose the Greenway as the site for this commemorative marker.

Luray's plaque, which outlines the Colonial Industry of the area, will be installed at the Greenway's North Loop at 4 PM on July 4. It will be located where the Expansion to Yager Spring will begin.

The Expansion will connect the Greenway to Yager Spring and it's important historic buildings. The Redwell Isabella Furnace began operations at Yager Spring around 1787. The furnace produced pig iron, and is believed to be the oldest furnace in Page County.

The commemorative marker will feature a 3x3 foot bronze plaque mounted on locally-sourced dolomite limestone rocks. Traditional stonemason Clyde Jenkins designed the marker, and it was donated by John and Rod Graves. Clyde is supervising it's construction in the photograph.

Local officials and staff, VA250 Committee members, and Greenway Board members will be on hand this Saturday for the unveiling. We hope to see you at this dedication at 4 PM. And we hope you will continue to enjoy the Greenway at the Downtown Get Down activities starting at 5 PM.

Three other VA250 plaques are also in the works or have already been dedicated:

Stanley – Colonial Agriculture
Shenandoah – Religion in Colonial Times
Page County – Colonial Patriots
