A Day Of Discovery At The Belmead On The James

This program is brought to you by Caravati’s Architectural Salvage and John Plashal Photo. The Belmead on the James occupies approximately 2300 acres of land that is extremely rich in history and powerful in visuals. Originally designed in 1845 for a Civil War Brigadier General, the gothic revival architectural masterpiece that later served as the centerpiece for the education of over 10,000 African Americans will be the beginning and ending point of our 4 mile hike, which will include over 15 stops at historical landmarks during a 3 hour walking tour. Come join us on June 13th to not only walk the hallowed grounthrough the days of indentured servant Bartholomew Stovall and into it’s tenure as the only male African American Catholic Military Academy in America.
