From the Friends of Jefferson Park:
On January 9th as a part of Union Hill’s Progressive Dessert Party, the Friends of Jefferson Park will display the Enrichmond Foundation’s curated photography exhibit, Seeing Green: Richmond’s Historic Outdoor Spaces. This exhibit, featuring photographs from the Valentine Museum’s collection, explores historic views of Richmond’s public parks. Join us at from 6:30 to 7:45 PM at the home of Bill Conkle at 801 North 24th Street and see how familiar green spaces looked in past eras.

A century ago it was the custom of our neighborhood to open our homes during the Christmas season and to share desserts and fellowship with neighbors and friends. Eight years ago the modern day neighbors of Union Hill took up that tradition with the first Union Hill Progressive Dessert. Please join us (and spread the word), as Union Hill celebrates this eighth Season by progressing through several homes on January 9th! The first home is 801 North 24th Street. A map to other homes will be available there!
