Plaques are Back!

After a brief hiatus, we’re excited to announce that historical plaques are back! Residents can now order their Woodland Heights Historical plaques online for only $275—amazing!

Context: Woodland Heights, one of Richmond’s earliest streetcar suburbs (1890), became part of the city in 1914. Our historic district has been on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register since 2009.

Share the love with our local firefighting crews

We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day in Woodland Heights with a family-friendly evening making cards for the Richmond Fire Station 17 crew and the Metro Richmond Flying Squad! Supplies (and a few sweet treats) will be provided.

Join us at the Woodland Heights Baptist Church on Thursday, February 13 at 6:30 p.m. A brief Woodland Heights Civic Association update will be provided, followed by this fun activity!
