The Progress-Index
PETERSBURG - Over 25 people, strolled down Grove Avenue to see Mother Nature s beauty, exercise, and take in a bit of history.
The Historic Petersburg Foundation [HPF] hosted their final of four spring walking tours through Petersburg: Old Towne, High Street, Poplar Lawn Historic District, and Grove Avenue.
On the morning of April 24, I stopped by HPF s All Things Garden fundraising event which was held at the Peter Jones Trading Station located at North Market Street and Grove Avenue. As I purchased plants donated by locals, I noticed a group of people forming a circle.
