The historic Polegreen Church site along Rural Point Road in Hanover County has come a long way from its origins as a 3-acre archaeological site nearly two decades ago.

Now 110 acres with trails, a chronological timeline of religious freedom, and the hauntingly familiar structural outline of the church that once stood there, plans are in the works for a visitor center.

Richmond, VA - June 4, 2009 marked the twentieth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests held in the People’s Republic of China in 1989. Chinese dissidents seeking democratic reforms demonstrated from mid-May until June 4 when the government forcefully cleared the square with tanks, murdering protestors and bystanders.

Protestors demonstrated against the authoritarian communist government, seeking to obtain democratic reforms. Students erected a "Goddess of Democracy" statue and also found inspiration in the immortal words of Patrick Henry by displaying his famous cry for political liberty, "Give me liberty or give me death!"
