2011 Exhibit: When Rail Ruled the Valley
The summer 2011 RHS Exhibit depicts a century of railroading in the Valley of Virginia though the medium of two dozen original works of art by local artist, Louis Caddell. Using pencil, pen and watercolor, Caddell has recreated images of the Rockbridge County depots serving the Valley Railroad and the majestic steam locomotives that were such an awesome spectacle of nineteenth century transportation power. Additional railroad memorabilia including a real conductor’s uniform fill out the exhibit. Everyone loves trains. Come and enjoy this glimpse into the past.
