Commentator Thea Marshall has explored the oldest church on the Northern Neck. In this Neck Tale, Thea talks about one of the Neck’s newest, the lighthouse-inspired home of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Rappahannock. It’s the only home for UU’s in all of the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula.
The roots of Unitarian Universalist can be traced back to Transylvania of the 1600’s. Members include some of our country’s early founders, such as John and Abigail Adams, Ben Franklin, Paul Revere. Thomas Jefferson declared that if there had been a Unitarian Church near Monticello, he would have attended it.

Dear Thea,
I listen to you every Wednesday on the way to work and enjoy your commentary. A very interesting program can be developed around the Historic Garden Week in Virginia tour on the Northern Neck, April 21.
Please visit Northern Neck (Wednesday) on the Schedule page of http://www.VAGardenweek.org for details.(Same information in the Garden Week guidebook.) Among the highlights are Sabine Hall and Mount Airy, which are featured every four years when Richmond County is open, along with other fascinating old properties.
Also, please visit the Tour Highlights and Home pages of the website for additional information.
Best regards,
Suzanne Munson
HGW Executive Director
