VLCF Funded Projects
Virginia’s working farms and forests, battlefields and other historic sites, natural areas, parks and rivers are critical to its economy, culture and quality of life. In 1999, the assembly and governor established the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation (VLCF) to fund protection of these resources. The interactive map below depicts VLCF-grant projects funded since 2000.

A grant of $61,000 was awarded to The Archaeological Conservancy to assist in the purchase of the 2.96 acre Pamplin Pipe Factory property in Appomattox County. The site is listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places for the archaeological remains of two centuries of clay pipe manufacturing. Following acquisition, the property was placed under a historic preservation easement with the Department of Historic Resources. The property will be open as a museum and the three existing structures interpreted for their importance in the industrial and cultural history of Virginia.
