The History Division of the Department of Recreation and Parks will present Historically Speaking, a new four-part speaker series, at several Henrico libraries in the coming months. The first program will take place Saturday, Aug. 6 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Glen Allen Library and is titled “Dr. Sheppard’s Medical Account Books from Meadow Farm, Henrico.” The account books of country doctor Dr. John Mosby Sheppard of Meadow Farm span nearly three decades from the antebellum, Civil War and Reconstruction periods. Because his patients included whites, free Blacks and enslaved persons, these records provide valuable insights into the local history and genealogy of both white and Black families. Henrico County Recreation and Parks historian Lisa Denton will provide background information on this resource, the latest discoveries, and the project’s plans for the future. Admission is free.
