"Unbuilt Hampden-Sydney"
On Exhibit
November 12, 2009 - February 5, 2010
 What might Hampden-Sydney have looked like if all its visionaries had had their way? This exhibition gives an overview of some of the plans, dreams, aspirations, and downright follies which, as John Brinkley says in his epic On This Hill, “seemed like good ideas at the time,” but never came to fruition.
Architects’ models, drawings, and quotations from the masterminds themselves will give visitors insight into the way people have envisioned an ideal campus for Hampden-Sydney College—and inspire gratitude that sometimes it didn’t happen. View a larger map...
