RTD has a cool piece up about the 175 year anniversary of St. Joseph’s Villa.
“I think their greatest significance is they have continued to evolve, serving those in the community who have needs that otherwise would not have been met,” said George Drumwright, Henrico’s deputy county manager for community services. “Just to be around 175 years, and still going in today’s economy, speaks well for them.”
The campus at Brook and East Parham roads, north of Richmond, is no longer the orphanage and school that was run by nuns until the late 1970s. It now offers a variety of services for at-risk youth or children with learning or developmental disabilities who are suspended or expelled from local schools, and it also provides services to children with disabilities, including mental retardation and autism.
175 years (that is 1834 people) is a LONG TIME. John Marshall was still alive!
