The Saint Paul's College Museum Committee and the James Solomon Russell
Commemoration Committee have joined forces to establish the James
Solomon Russel/Saint Paul's College Museum and Archives in
Lawrenceville, VA. The museum will preserve and display materials from
Saint Paul's College. Most of the materials have been collected and
housed in the Tourism Office under the authority of the Brunswick County
Board of Supervisors. The County's Board of Supervisors has granted the
committee use of the old Board of Education building at 219 N. Main
Street, Lawrenceville, for displays and other museum uses.
The Museum Committee members are: Chairman-James Grimstead;
Vice Chair-Bobby Conner; Secretary-Teya Whitehead; Treasurer-Regina
Gordon; and members Carolyn Lofton, Gloria W. Menyweather-Woods, Barbara
W. Malone, Sylvia Allen, Rev. Dr. Terrence Walker, Shirley Grimstead,
Rev. Carlton Powell, Dr. Angela Parker, Hardi Jones, Alice W. Harris,
Cleo Goodwyn, Brenda Herrington, Iris Jones, Marian H. Parker, Rob
Rhodes, Stanley W. Johnson and Dr. Virginia Russell (Emeritus).
The committee's goal is to secure the legacy of the late Dr. James
Solomon Russell in perpetuity by establishing a museum worthy of this
cause. The committee's next step is to obtain non-profit incorporation
(pending) and federal 501(c)3 tax exempt status. Currently, our
greatest need is for a computer setup, museum software, a copier and
office supplies at a cost of approximately $2000. Donations to support
the museum may be sent to: JSR/SPC Museum & Archives, PO Box 551,
Lawrenceville, VA 23868.
