ication ceremony at the historical society.
After the dedication, guests can walk behind the historical society building to Avon Hall or drive over to the estate. There will be guest parking and handicapped parking at Avon Hall.
The garden party celebration at Avon Hall is made possible through the “generosity” of Mark Eggert and Jim Carrigan, nephews of the late William Carrigan, said Raymond Gooch, president of the historical society. Mr. Eggert and Mr. Carrigan are serving as executors and trustees of Mr. Carrigan’s estate.
Mr. Carrigan, who died last year, was one of the three founders of the historical society in 1965, along with Jim “Bill” Fletcher and the late Ned Jones.
Cooter’s band is provided by Rappahannock residents Ben Jones (Cooter) aad his wife, Alma Viator, who last year also generously donated their band for the fund raiser.
The last time Avon Hall was open to the public was in 1961 when Trinity Episcopal Church held its annual house tour and dried flower sale. Many Rappahannock residents have fond memories of Avon Hall, the site of the annual Fourth of July fireworks celebration.
If you wish to make a reservation to attend the garden party and tour, please call Donna Fisher at the Rappahannock Historical Society (675-1163).
Admission is $75 per person.
