We will have the "History Walk" again this year on May Ist as a part of Hike/Bike/Run. This Walk begins at 8:a.m. at the Hike/Bike/Run Opening Ceremony. The "Hike Through History" is 1.4 miles in length and takes about two hours.
We will bus you from the opening ceremony to the Langdale Mill and then you will walk to the historic spots. You will have a guided tour of Langdale Mill, Sears Hall, The Iron Bridge, The Boat Landing, Langdalie Cemetery, Lanier Park and Bridge District, The Cotton Duck, LaFayette Lanier School and Auditorium and The Boy Scout House. At the end of the tour you will be bused back to Valley Haven. If there is enough interest, we will also bus people for a short tour of The Fairfax Depot.
Note: Itinerary subject to change.
Call Tony Edmondson or Robert Hale at Valley Haven, 756-7801 if you need more information, or e-mail us at valleyhaven@charterinternet.com
Pledge Information:
Here's what we ask you to do. If you raise $100.00 each to participate, the state and federal matching funds will net the school around $500.00 because of your efforts. When you ask for your pledge, do not collect the money. Ask the person for their "mailing address" and we will send them a bill after Hike/Bike/Run.
