Tour Overview
Exploring the Downtown Mall and Surrounding Area
As the final project for AMST 4500, this guided walk around the downtown mall in Charlottesville explores my personal and family history of the place as well as the larger cultural and historical significance. This walk will take you to my personal favorite places as well as some of the most significant in Charlottesville. Charlottesville is located on Monacan land, but the history of this land and the downtown area specifically is sparsely available.
