New Dominion Bookshop in Charlottesville will host a book launch party celebrating the second edition of Marijean Oldham’s book 100 Things to Do in Charlottesville Before You Die on Friday, September 14, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Refreshments will be provided. This event is free to attend.
About the Book: For a small, Southern-ish town, Charlottesville, Virginia, sure packs a lot into its geographic footprint. A destination for history buffs, the town is central to the homes of three U.S. Presidents: Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. An academic and college sports attraction, the University of Virginia—designed, built, and founded by Thomas Jefferson—is a large presence in the town. Bordered by the Blue Ridge Mountains and just two hours southwest of Washington, D.C., Charlottesville is a cultural powerhouse with deep roots. 100 Things to Do in Charlottesville Before You Die will be your guide to all the delightful activities of the region and a roadmap to the true flavor and feeling of today’s Charlottesville. Whether you’re people-watching on the downtown pedestrian mall or hanging out on The Corner at UVA, we have the comprehensive list of Charlottesville to-dos, which should keep you busy from now until you die.
