county history. The historical articles, appearing the last week of every month, will be collected in book form at the end of the sesquicentennial year.
We’re also introducing a sesquicentennial seal, designed for us by Rappahannock artist Dan Lewis. Our general manager, John Toler, noting that the county doesn’t have a seal, suggested that we come up with a design that could be used to mark the sesquicentennial observance. The combined efforts of Toler and Lewis resulted in the seal that we first used on our 1983 calendar. Other county groups are welcome to use it in any celebration of the county’s one hundred and fiftieth year.
Finally, we hope that there will be many events planned to mark this milestone for Rappahannock. There has been a century and a half of change since this sparsely-populated county was separated from Culpeper on Feb. 8, 1833. Some of the events and natural disasters that we will be recording in our coming series have had farreaching effects that the county fathers could not have anticipated. Remaining for present-day county residents is the beautiful scenery, the ancient mountains, the hardy people, both natives and newcomers who have chosen this place over any other. We think that's plenty of reason to celebrate.
