The Virginia United Methodist Assembly Center

I LOVE OLD BUILDINGS…..in fact historical buildings are on my list of FAVORITE THINGS. The Virginia Methodist Assembly Center is NOW on my list of favorite things! If you are ever in Blackstone, VA you should really visit!
The Virginia Consortium of Quilters met in Blackstone, VA this weekend and we stayed at The Virginia United Methodist Assembly Center. One of our community service projects is making pillowcases for Foster Children in Virginia and I have to say that this was quite an inspiration place to do this!
I just HAD to share! It is such a wonderful place – really – I was smiling for two whole days!
Since 1892 this building has been collecting memories!
It was a female institute in 1892 and was later a college for girls. Now it is an Assembly Center – and quite impressive!!!
It is now the VA United Methodist Assembly Center
We stayed in the dorms, sewed in a big room – ate in the dining hall – and soaked up the history! As you can tell, the autumn leaves were gorgeous! It was a wonderful experience!
