Though this is not about a CVPA event, our college has history with the Mary Draper Ingles legacy. Our alumni helped tell the story of the colonial heroine from the New River Valley. They directed, acted and provided tech for a long-running outdoor drama about Ingles, which took place at Ingles Farm along Radford’s New River.

Friday, Oct. 21, 2016, begins Mary Draper Ingles Weekend. Events include the unveiling of a bronze statue in Ingles' honor at Glencoe Museum and Gallery, tours of Ingles Farm, and other festivities.
