HAPPY 123RD BIRTHDAY, TOWN OF WINDSOR!
2 p.m. Saturday, March 15, 2025.
The town of Windsor, Virginia, was founded March 15, 1902, and today is a celebration of Windsor history and a chance to hear more of its railroad stories. Local historian Clyde Parker will tell the story of the 1912-1926 Roanoke Railway Company that enabled large quantities of lumber supplying the Camp mill in southwestern Isle of Wight County. The museum will bring artifacts from its collection which highlight the Town of Windsor. Bring some of your own images or artifacts to share while we will enjoy birthday cake following the talk. The event will be held at the Windsor Town Center, 23361 Courthouse Highway, Windsor, VA
The Woman’s Club of Windsor, Inc. will be supporting Agriculture in the Classroom during the 15th annual Agriculture Literacy Week, March 17-21, 2025. Four books and supporting materials have been purchased by our Education and Libraries Committee to be given to Pre-K thru 1 st grades at Carrsville Elementary School and Windsor Elementary School. This year’s book features pen pals Emma and Efren as they write to each other comparing and contrasting their families’ farms. Students will learn of the many different ways that food is produced, and the technology involved in creating an abundant food supply. Enrichment activities are included.
As part of one of the oldest and largest volunteer organizations we dedicate ourselves to serving the needs of our community. We are a non-profit organization, a sisterhood, and proud to be in the General Federation of Woman's Clubs.
