This monument honors the African American workers, like Mary Ferguson and Edna Joyce, who worked to establish this garden. We are here at the WPA Memorial Garden at Norfolk Botanical Garden. This monument honors the African American workers, like Mary Ferguson and Edna Joyce, who worked to establish this garden. The azalea garden concept was conceived by then Norfolk City manager Thomas P. Thompson and City Superintendent of Parks, Frederic Heutte. They believed that the Hampton Roads region had the perfect climate and soil for growing azaleas. The City of Norfolk provided 75 acres of high ground and 75 acres around the Little Creek Reservoir to establish a city garden. The Azalea Garden project became a reality when Congressman Norman R. Hamilton announced on June 30, 1938 a Works Progress Administration grant of $76, 278 to underwrite this endeavor. Since 1939 the Norfolk Botanical Garden has evolved into a 155 acre horticultural and educational experience featuring over 30 themed gardens. The original garden, now on the National Register of Historic Places still remains and is the only surviving garden created by African-American WPA workers. And like the entire Garden, it is a living testimony to the African American workers who created the Garden and were honored during the Garden's 70th anniversary when this WPA Memorial was unveiled in 2009. http://www.whro.org/home/html/podcasts/hereAndThen/HereandThen-35.mp4 Wed, 10 May 2011 19:00:00 GMT 3:59 Norfolk Botanical Gardens WHRO We are at the US Army Transportation Museum in front a locomotive used to operate the Ft.

The FEMRR was established during WW I when Camp Eustis was created as a Coast Artillery and Observation Balloon training facility. When the 714 th was deactivated in 1972 that ended the active military role in railroad training. FEMRR is now managed by civilian contractors. Ft. Eustis Military Railroad, with its top speed of 25 mph, was often called to the Main Gate and Back line. Its service, nevertheless, has provided the US Army personnel with key training for transporting men, material and supplies during peace and war since 1918. http://www.whro.org/home/html/podcasts/hereAndThen/HereandThen-34.mp4 Wed, 10 May 2011 19:00:00 GMT 3:59 Norfolk Botanical Gardens WHRO We are at Smith's Railway where the Hampton History Museum's log canoe is being restored prior to display in the Hampton Roads Convention Center.  Smith's Railway, which has operated as a boat yard since 1842, is the perfect place to restore this historic vessel We are at Smith's Railway where the Hampton History Museum's log canoe is being restored prior to display in the Hampton Roads Convention Center.  Smith's Railway, which has operated as a boat yard since 1842, is the perfect place to restore this historic vessel http://www.whro.org/home/html/podcasts/hereAndThen/HereandThen-33.mp4 Thur, 8 Jul 2010 19:00:00 GMT 3:59 Log Canoe, Hampton Roads Convention Center WHRO "Even though seafood has always been one of this region's natural resources, it would not be until after the Civil War that it became a commercial enterprise in Hampton.
