The Fluvanna County Historical Society is noted for its sponsorship of many community events.  Here is a list of some of them.  Additional information on these events can be found by contacting the staff at Maggie’s House.

  • Lecture Series – the Society sponsors a series of lectures each year on subjects related to Fluvanna’s history and culture. 

  • Old Farm Day – held the first Saturday of each October, this is the premier public event in Fluvanna County attended by hundreds of vendors and community groups and attracting thousands of visitors.  This year's Old Farm Day is Saturday, Oct 4 from 10-4, 2008. It will be held at the Pleasant Grove Plantation on Route 53 in Palmyra. Admission is a nominal fee. Rain date will be scheduled.

  • Old Fashioned Village Holiday Event in the Village of Palmyra held the second Saturday in December. Initiated just a few years ago, this event brings hundreds of guests to the center of Palmyra for a celebration of traditional Christmas.  It has become very popular and includes concerts, tours of the village and its historic sites, a reception at Maggie’s House and the lighting of the county Christmas tree. All are welcome and event is free. We are very grateful to our many supporters!
