Did you know that the Ivy Creek Natural Area & Historic Preserve was once a thriving Black-owned farm? The property was purchased in 1870 by Hugh Carr, a formerly enslaved man who became one of Albemarle County’s most prominent African American landowners. Carr and his family turned the land into a prosperous farm, and his descendants maintained the property for generations. Today, families can enjoy miles of scenic trails and learn more about the inspiring history through interpretive signs near the barn and at educational events held throughout the year. Learn more about Ivy Creek and planning a fun afternoon with the family at the Link Below.
