Southside Virginia Training Center
Dinwiddie County – One of the 53 sites along the Civil Rights in Education Heritage Trail®. In 1938 the Virginia General Assembly chartered
a residential care facility for African American males aged 8–21, with mental disabilities. From 1943 to 1952, as attitudes changed and the idea of occupational education began to take hold, the Colony became a training school, similar to a boarding school.
