60TH ANNIVERSARY: LOUISA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the formation of the Louisa County Historical Society. While the Society has changed over those years, our commitment remains the same: to bring to light, preserve, and share the history of Louisa County. Founded in December of 1966, the Louisa County Historical Society was organized as a non-profit led by our first board of directors (pictured here). These founding members were critical in building the infrastructure of our organization and we are grateful for their commitment to local history!

Blessed Assurance – The enemy of good

During my first career as a clinical pharmacist, I had the opportunity to work with a large number of physicians, nurses and other health professionals. Some of these folks were tremendous professionals and people, from whom I learned a great deal. I have always had a special affinity for surgeons, though they can be some of the prickliest and most challenging people God ever placed on earth! Part of this demeanor is that it takes a lot of chutzpah to cut open a living human body, mess about inside it for a while, and then sew everything back up again – kinda like nothing ever happened.

On & Off Earth – The sneakiness of September

September is a sneaky month. This first week, there is little doubt it is still summer but change, as always, is creeping in from all directions. The first sneaky change I noticed, back in mid-August, was the sunlight bypassing my overhanging eaves and shining onto my desk. The loss of daylight is subtle in the early summer but is picking up speed as Earth’s tilted orbit sees the sun wrap up its annual northern hemisphere tour at the Autumnal Equinox at 8:05pm on the 22nd.

REC leaders speak at August meeting

The Belmont Club of Women held its monthly meeting on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. Our guest speakers, Louis O’Berry and Amanda Cooper were from Rappahannock Electric Cooperative with a presentation on Renewable Energy. Rappahannock Electric is a distribution co-operative, which doesn’t own any energy assets, but purchases energy from others. They are 8th or 9th in the nation. Rappahannock Electric is the largest co-op in the area and maintains 17,000 square miles of power lines,etc. They are constantly growing, although it takes time to build the infrastructure. The club had many questions for the presenters, since this is the co-op that they rely upon for their electric service.
