The Rochelle-Prince House
22371 Main Street, Courtland, VA 23837
During the 1980s, the Club helped the Southampton County Historical Society with planning, funding, and planting the memorial garden at the Rochelle-Prince House in Courtland, owned by the Society and used as its headquarters. In 1991, when the restoration of the garden was completed, Mrs. William Gilliam, a member of the GCV Restoration committee, joined the Franklin Garden Club for the formal presentation of a plaque. The Club continues to support the Rochelle-Prince House by creating outdoor holiday decorations and maintaining the front gate plantings. A group from the Club also does periodic clean-ups in the yard. There have been occasional financial requests from the Society for specific needs at the Rochelle Prince House, and the Club has funded these requests.
