May 2011

Dear Evergreen Manor House Supporter,

Thank you for your interest in the Live at Evergreen concerts. For five years we have enjoyed providing free concerts to the community to support the mission of preserving and restoring the Evergreen Manor House. This year brings with it some changes that come as a result of our success, including a hiatus in the concert series for 2011.

Last year we held six concerts, with record attendance for each event. Through your generous support, our concert goers and sponsors, the funds raised have allowed us to do a number of important things towards achieving our mission. We have painted, re-built porches, re-pointed the majority of the stone, replaced the original copper gutters, re-built window frames/dormers/mouldings, organized interior clean up and more. See progress photos here.

We also succeeded in listing the Evergreen Manor House on the National Register of Historic Places, a prestigious national honour that recognizes the home's historic significance and brings with it new opportunities to advance our mission and raise funds.

Perhaps our most important achievement is we are now ready to start the first phase of interior restoration. This will make the building available for use again, after 30 years. We have the funds (thanks to you), the plan, and most importantly agreement with the county, who has worked closely with us for over a year to get to this point.

The concert series for the summer of 2011 is on hold while we work out strategic plans with the owner, Evergreen Country Club, around future fundraising, restoration, and use of the building. We hope to resume the series later in the year and will email updates and post information online as we know more.

If you have any questions related to the concerts, please email Tina Boyd, Fundraising Director.

Best wishes for a great summer,
The Manor House Preservation Fund

Great Music, Greater Good

Enjoy today and preserve yesterday at scenic Evergreen, nestled at the base of Bull Run Mountain.

Your donation goes directly to preserving the Evergreen Plantation Manor House. This once bustling and glorious home serves as a tangible link to the people and events that shaped our community— and its restoration and adaptive reuse is critical to sustaining what is best about our area.

The Manor House is now listed on the National Register for Historic Places and the Virginia Register for Historic Places.

It attained this distinction due to the architecture and Civil War significance. On May 12, 2009 the House was acknowleged by the PW County Historical Commission.

Built by Lewis Berkeley in 1827, the Evergreen Manor House is a Designated Cultural Resource as identified by Prince William County.

Lewis Berkeley passed the house to his son Edmund, who, during the Civil War, organized Company C, "The Evergreen Guard," and rose to the rank of Colonel. In 1911, 50 years to the date of the First Battle of Manassas, he delivered an opening poem at the Manassas National Jubilee of Peace. Confederate and Union veterans came together, shaking hands.

Now, we invite you, your family and friends to gather at this tribute to our rich history and enjoy Live at Evergreen.
