Charlottesville Political Sign in VA Endangered Artifact Contest

Posted: Updated:

A political sign from Charlottesville is in the running to be Virginia's top endangered artifact.

The program is designed to create awareness of the importance of preserving artifacts throughout the state.

The national political rally sign from the 1870s is on display at the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society and has a chance of being voted into the top 10.

Steven Meeks with Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society said, "It had a political meaning, I think the Republican Party was in power at that time and this was done in protest to the Republican leadership at that time."
