Sheridan fourth graders take in local history

Last week, Sheridan Elementary School fourth graders visited and toured the Boxley Cabin, Sheridan Library, and the Sheridan Historical Society Museum. All three locations offer so much history to the foundation of Sheridan and surrounding areas. Boxley Cabin was built in 1828 by Virginia-born abolitionist George Boxley, who fled Spotsylvania County, Va., after allegedly starting a slave rebellion in the winter of 1816. Boxley escaped jail using a spring saw smuggled by his wife, Hannah. He vanished, heading north. But his life as a fugitive meant that he was chased relentlessly by bounty hunters for 12 years.

2026 PILA Silent Auction Supports Students in Public Service

At 9 p.m. last Saturday night, those who found themselves wandering North Grounds would have been met with quite the curious sight: law students—happy and well-dressed (but not in a “someone is about to lose their rights” kind of way) outside the confines of the library and voluntarily entering the Darden School of Business. What astrological anomaly could have yielded this phenomenon? It was something far more surprising than any celestial body being in retrograde; they were spurred by the spirit of giving.
