Archaeologists in Virginia unearth colonial-era garden with clues about its enslaved gardeners
Archaeologists in Virginia are uncovering an ornamental garden from the 1700s where a wealthy politician and enslaved gardeners grew exotic plants from around the world. Such plots of land served as status symbols. They were the 18th-century equivalent of buying a Lamborghini. The garden in Williamsburg belonged to tobacco grower John Custis IV, who also served in the colonial legislature. His garden has long intrigued historians. But the dig also focuses on learning more about the enslaved gardeners. The excavation is being conducted by Colonial Williamsburg. It's a living history museum that now owns the property in the former colonial capital.

Lawn Room Roofs Regain Their Original Profiles
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (UVA Today) – The University of Virginia’s Academic Village is looking more like Thomas Jefferson intended. This summer, work crews replaced the roof over the student rooms between pavilions VI and VIII, a structure that encapsulates the historic fabric of the original Jeffersonian roofs. When Thomas Jefferson designed UVA’s Academical Village, he envisioned flat roofs over the student rooms, so he designed an angled, serrated roof topped with a flat deck. The water was supposed to run through the deck boards and into the tin-lined valleys of the wood-serrated roofs before running off onto the ground.
