Henricus Historical Park, site of the second permanent English settlement in the “New World,” will present “Haunted Henricus: Things That Go Bump in the Night” on October 22 and 23. Visitors to the park will experience an evening of spellbinding accounts and legendary tales as period-dress interpreters revive old English and American Indian folklore and legends. Join colonists and Virginia Indians by the fireside of 1611-1622 Virginia as they recount eerie and strange tales of their homeland.
Activities planned for “Haunted Henricus” will capture the essence of what it felt like to be a colonist in a dark, mysterious and wooded landscape, exposed to uncertain perils. Visitors will understand the connection of the harvest season to many European superstitions and listen to tales of “Things That Go Bump in the Night.” Prior to the guided site tours, visitors may enjoy a presentation of “Dark of the Moon” by the Thomas Dale High School Drama Department.
The fee for the play is $3 per person with all proceeds benefitting the school. Performances will run from 5:00-6:45 p.m. Admission to “Haunted Henricus” is $8 for adults and $6 for children aged 5-12 with tours lasting approximately one hour between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. Registration for “Haunted Henricus” is required by October 20 by calling (804) 748-1613.

“There is no better time to bring your family to Henricus Historical Park than during the year of our 400th commemoration,” said Charles Lewis Grant, acting executive director. “Events such as ‘Haunted Henricus’ and many others offered by our experienced staff make learning about history fun.”
Bring your favorite blanket, warm up by the fire and enjoy an evening of old fashioned family fun.

400th Commemoration Continues at Henricus Historical Park with Pocahontas and the Powhatan People
Henricus Historical Park continues its 400th commemoration with the second major event in a series called “The Year of Henricus” with Pocahontas and the Powhatan People on November 6 and 7. Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe at the Citie of Henricus, the second permanent English settlement in North America. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America and established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia. This event examines the significant impact neighboring Virginia Indians had on the English colonists and explores the life of Pocahontas at Henricus.
Set among a recreated Arrohateck Indian village and English settlement, visitors to Henricus Historical Parkare encouraged to step back in time and experience life in 1611 Colonial Virginia demonstrated by period-dressed interpreters. American Indian activities will include historical recreations of daily Virginia Indian life and scheduled ceremonial dance and music demonstrations. Visitors to the English settlement can meet John Rolfe and other colonists as they discuss the upcoming marriage of Pocahontas to John Rolfe.
“With a newly expanded Virginia Indian site featuring furnished ‘Yehakins’ or Indian longhouses, Henricus is uniquely positioned to share the life of Pocahontas,” said Charles Lewis Grant, acting executive director. “We encourage people to experience living history and learn about the significant milestones which took place at Henricus and shaped the development of our nation.”
“The Year of Henricus” began at Publick Days 2010 and will continue to lead up to the site’s 400th anniversary which will be commemorated in September of next year. Events will culminate with the arrival of 17th-century ship replica, Godspeed from Jamestown Settlement, at Publick Days 2011. For more information about all events during “The Year of Henricus”, visit http://www.henricus.org or call (804) 748-1613. Reporters and photographers are encouraged to schedule tours in advance and attend all events.
Admission for Pocahontas and the Powhatan People, which takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, is free for members, $8 for adults and $6 for children aged 3-12. Henricus Historical Park is located on 32 acres along the scenic and historic James Riverand is surrounded by the 810-acre Dutch Gap Conservation Area.

Henricus Historical Park Commemorates 400th Anniversary with Year-Long Celebration
Henricus Historical Park announced it will commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Citie of Henricus with a year-long series of events kicking off in September 2010. Founded in 1611 by Sir Thomas Dale, Henricus became the second successful English settlement in the “New World” and was established to replace the unhealthy environment of Jamestown. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe. From September 2010 to September 2011, “The Year of Henricus” commemorative events will celebrate the founding of the Citie and historic milestones which took place at Henricus.
“Henricus Historical Park is an essential cultural landmark in the heritage and founding of the United States of America,” said Charles Lewis Grant, acting executive director. “As a living history museum with period-dressed interpreters who offer ‘hands on’ demonstrations among recreated colonial structures, we are uniquely designed to honor this important milestone in history.”
“The Year of Henricus” events include:
Publick Days: September 18-19, 2010
This event honors the founding of Henricus and includes living history reenactments, military drills and musket firings, craftsmen and blacksmiths, 17th-century medicinal demonstrations, Virginia Indian activities, historical children’s games and crafts, storytelling and more.
Pocahontas, Rocke Hall and the Powhatan People: November 6-7, 2010
Learn about Pocahontas and her life under the guidance of Reverend Alexander Whitaker at his Rocke Hall home. Historical interactions will concentrate on the life of Virginia Indians during the European first contact period and will explore the historic events and cultural overviews of two groups with very different ways of life who lived in close proximity.
Henricus Colledge – First UniversityChartered in North America: March 26-27, 2011
This event covers the beginnings of the American education tradition. Topics will be primarily presented through lectures, discussions and exhibits. Highlights will include discussions regarding Sir Thomas Dale and the religious and political questions of the day. The Indian Attack of 1622 will be discussed, as it postponed the construction of a college until 1693 in Williamsburg.
Mount Malady – America’s First Hospital: May 7-8, 2011
This event details the science and technology of 17th-century medical care. Medical procedures and practices will be discussed and demonstrated. Topics will include the influx of a new workforce in Virginia, the challenges these workers faced in their new environment and the science behind the medical treatment of their maladies.
Tobacco – First Successful Commercial Export: July 23-24, 2011
Learn about early colonial tobacco in the area and John Rolfe, who introduced Spanish tobacco to mainland America. Explore the lives of indentured servants and the arrival of Africans in the “New World” who worked the tobacco fields. Discover how agriculture and trade affected the economics, politics and everyday lives of 17th-century Virginians.
Publick Days and the Godspeed: September 17-18, 2011
This special event will feature 100 living history interpreters from around the country portraying both English colonists and native inhabitants of circa 1611 Virginia. Interpreters will occupy the English city, the Indian village Arrohateck, and the Godspeed from Jamestown Settlement, and will demonstrate the commercial, mechanical, agricultural, domestic, and military skills of both cultures as would have been observed between the years 1611 and 1622.
Henricus Historical Park is located on 32 acres along the scenic and historic James River in Chester, Virginia, only 20 minutes from Richmond. Open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., general admission is free for members and $8 for adults and $6 for children aged 3-12. Indoor and outdoor facilities are available for rental. Henricus also features diverse multi-curricular education programs based on the State of Virginia’s Standards of Learning (SOL) Guidelines for grades Pre-K–12.

10 Things Teens Should Know About Money: Important Life Lessons To Teach Your Kids Brought to You By Your friends at Call Federal Credit Union
When it comes to preparing our teens for the real world, sometimes we parents fail to make the grade. Here are 10 things teens should know before they leave the nest:
1. Not All Checking Accounts Are Created Equal. Shop around. Find the one that costs the least for the services you need.
2. Free doesn’t always mean free. Free usually comes with strings attached so be wary of the stipulations of the word “free.”
3. Your PIN number is sacred. Remember whoever has your PIN has access to your money. In other words, don’t give it to your girlfriend because one day she may no longer be your girlfriend.
4. Pay Yourself First: Treat your savings account as one of your expenses and pay yourself just as you would any other bill.
5. Compounding is Your Friend. The earlier you start saving on a regular basis the better chance you have at financial freedom and true wealth.
6. Credit is Your financial reputation: If you manage your credit poorly it can not only prevent you from getting a loan, but a job or even an apartment.
7. Don’t spend more than you make. It might seem easy to put it on a credit card, but you will pay for it later. If you continue this habit consider that you may pay twice what the item is worth.
8. Introductory Rates Don’t Last: If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. You’ll find proof in the fine print.
9. Uncle Sam Gets His Cut: Remember that taxes will come out of your wages so keep that in mind when you make plans for that first job.
10. Don’t make the minimum payment: It might feel like a deal to only pay $25 instead of the entire balance, but you’ll pay more interest each time you delay paying all that you owe.
