Join OLLI at UVA for a spring day trip to the Anne Spencer Museum and Gardens in historic Lynchburg, Virginia. The Anne Spencer House & Garden Museum is the former home of renowned Harlem Renaissance poet Anne Spencer. The museum is a designated Virginia Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With up to 95% of the original house and cottage furnishings still in place today, it is considered one of the most intact house museums in the United States. Anne Spencer’s garden is also the only known restored garden of an African American in the United States. Anne Spencer was a poet, civil rights leader, advocate, and librarian. Her home and garden served as a gathering place for leading African Americans such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Martin Luther King, Jr. The garden served as a private space of reflection and inspiration for the poet as well as a social realm for family and friends. W.E.B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson and George Washington Carver were plantsmen.
