My Summer: Daniel Weldon

Hey Guys,

I’m Daniel Weldon and I’m currently working at Stratford Hall, on the Northern Neck of Virginia as the Cultural Landscape Lab Summer 2013 Intern. My responsibilities include conducting archival research and field documentation.  The goal of the internship is to determine what historic agricultural and forestry practices occurred on the site in an effort to inform future land management goals. I’ve had my fair share of encounters with ticks, logs, swamps, cliffs and beaches while doing research on the property.  But, it’s not without its perks, such as the mandatory research at local wineries or the close proximity to the nation’s capital and historic sites.
