St. Paul's Heritage Center



Today I went to a talk in Edinburg that was sponsored by Friends of the North Fork. Anne Henriksen, PhD,  discussed endocrine disrupters and how they effect fish in the North Fork of the Shenandoah. Researchers have identified 39 chemicals in the river that disrupt hormones and interfere with fish reproduction.

The location was St. Paul's Heritage Center, which was originally St. Paul's Evangelical German Reformed Church.


Although the church existed before the American Civil War, a plaque indicates that the current building dates to 1911.

  1. Hate to hear our wastes in the water. Farm chemicals can be a problem, even showing up in the rain.

  2. A lecture worth taking seriously, especially now. That is a good use of the building.
