We were thrilled to receive a Beautification Award from the Wilson County Beautification Association on Sept. 1, 2020! We appreciate our volunteers who work hard to keep our grounds especially nice — and full of La Vernia history!

Participating in the presentation are (l-r) Kathy Kotelman; Dr. Patrice Broderick, presenting the award on behalf of the beautification association; Heather Hansen; Museum Director Susan Richter, accepting the award; and La Vernia Historical Association members Nancy Scull, Elaine Stephens, and Graham Lawrence, who’s holding the “Golden Grabber” — presented by the Wilson County Beautification Association to awardees to raise awareness of litter prevention. Also attending were Walter Scull and Tambria Read.
