As morning light rises over Chautauqua Lake, the bells of Fluvanna toll once again. Their familiar sound invites us to remember, to reflect, and to honor those whose lives were forever changed on September 11, 2001.

Long before Fluvanna became known for its scenic landscape, local potters transformed the region's clay into crocks, jugs, and household wares that served generations of residents. Discover the story of this forgotten industry and learn how you can recreate a piece of that history yourself at our upcoming program with historian Vince Martonis and the Pearl City Clay House.
