Courtney Road Service Station
This
circa-1925 "House with Canopy" filling station 3401
Mountain Rd., Glen Allen, a 1916 Standard Oil Company
prototype, was one of thousands built in the mid-1920s, following a
demand caused by an increase in cars and improved roads. The station,
which served as a social gathering place in the Glen Allen community,
was referred to as the "Friendly Service Station" in a Richmond-area
telephone book from 1940. The pumps and station have been refurbished
and the station building is open for special programs and by
appointment.
Meadow Farm Museum
Meadow
Farm 3400 Mountain Rd., Glen Allen, a
circa-1860 living history farm and museum, shows visitors a glimpse of
life on a rural Virginia farm just before the region was torn apart by
the Civil War. Interpreters wearing costumes demonstrate what life was
like for farm owner Dr. John Mosby Sheppard and his family through
presentations in the farmhouse, barn, pastures, blacksmith shop and
doctor's office. Most presentations are free. As of publication the farm
is open Tuesday to Sunday afternoons from March to November, and
Saturdays and Sundays only from December to February. Meadow Farm
includes a welcome center, gift shop and meeting room, and the museum
sponsors various workshops and special events throughout the year.
