SUMMARY:Sunday Afternoon Lecture: "Laying the Past to Rest: A History of Funeral Traditions" by Jarred Marlowe. Admission is free.
DESCRIPTION:Jarred Marlowe takes us on a fascinating journey through how we care for the dead\, from ancient mummification and early American burial customs to the rise of embalming\, hearses\, cremation\, and the modern funeral home. Along the way he answers questions like the difference between a coffin and a casket\, why cemeteries and graveyards aren’t the same thing\, and how funeral traditions in Martinsville and Henry County evolved over the last century. \nMarlowe is a graduate of Virginia Military Institute\, a member of the Col. George Waller Chapter Sons of the American Revolution\, a consultant for the Blue & Gray Education Society\, and the chairman of the local Virginia 250 Anniversary Committee. He writes the “Community Chronicles” column for the Henry County Enterprise and\, with Andy Doss\, runs the YouTube video channel “Doss-Marlowe: History in Sight.”

SUMMARY:Historic Garden Week in Martinsville - Henry County
DESCRIPTION:For one week in spring\, visitors will tour inspired private landscapes\, public gardens and historic sites across Virginia\, enjoying our beautiful state at the peak of spring. In addition\, more than 1\,000 world-class floral arrangements created by Garden Club of Virginia members will enhance tour properties. This beloved statewide event will include unique tours organized and hosted by 48 member clubs located from the foothills of the Shenandoah Valley all the way to the beaches of Tidewater. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, April 22nd\, for Garden Tour in Martinsville – Henry County! Once home to the country’s wealthiest residents per capita\, Martinsville enjoyed prominence in the mid-1900s as a leader in fashion and luxury. The houses and gardens showcased on this year’s tour include representatives from the town’s glory days\, including the homes of former Globman proprietors. Globman’s was an iconic and famous department store that opened in 1915. A past president of the Garden Club of Virginia now owns one of the featured houses. At the tour headquarters\, the MHC Heritage Museum\, attendees will enjoy activities that include creating flower arrangements to take home. The museum is a Garden Club of Virginia restoration site and has recently undergone a 10\,000-square-foot addition featuring rare and valuable antiques.
