The Heart of Your Adventure is proud to present Farmville’s LOVEwork, dedicated on December 19, 2014. The creation of local artisan, Al Buczek and his team of craftsmen, the design was selected during a Spring 2014 competition, the first of its kind in the history of LOVEworks.
The image depicts the High Bridge, site of one of the last battles of the American Civil War, with trains from both the Union and Confederacy poised on its track. It includes an inlaid 1918 Sanborn Fire Insurance map reproduction of the Downtown district. It was constructed of locally hewn and crafted materials and assembled on site. It was made possible through a grant by the Virginia Tourism Corporation Marketing Leveraging Grant.
The Heart of Your Adventure was created in 2013 by a team from the Town of Farmville, the County of Prince Edward, the Farmville Downtown Partnership, and the Farmville Area Chamber of Commerce. It is dedicated to sharing the region’s assets with visitors. LOVEworks is part of the “Virginia Is For Lovers” marketing campaign by the Virginia Tourism Corporation.
Visitors are encouraged to take photos with the LOVEwork and share with loved ones on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/VirginiaisforLovers or on Twitter with the special hashtag #LOVEVA. A complete list of the LOVEwork locations is at www.Virginia.org/LOVE.
