What is Crozet or should I say who is Crozet?

What is Crozet or should I say who is Crozet?

The community of Crozet began as a whistle stop on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad in 1876 that was established at the request of the Miller Manual Labor School (the Miller School), which had been founded a year earlier. It was named for Colonel B. Claudius Crozet (1789-1864), a French born civil engineer and artillery officer under Napoleon who is best remembered as the chief engineer for the seventeen mile long railroad tunnel through the Blue Ridge Mountains. Since its inception, it has functioned as a distinct settlement with a unique history of agriculture, small business enterprises, and a dynamic civic spirit.  Crozet was selected for the first Master Plan by the Board of Supervisors in October 2001, based on the community's strong interest and high level of development activity. The Crozet Master Plan was completed in 2004, and implementation is underway. 
Upon completion of the master plan, the Board appointed 15 citizens to the Crozet Community Advisory Council, an advisory committee that provides assistance to County staff and the Board of Supervisors on civic/community issues related to implementation of the Crozet Master Plan.

To many of us, Crozet is an area where you can live near the Blue Ridge and still be 15 minutes to Charlottesville. With good schools, clean air and great views, it is always worth a look. Here are some neighborhoods to consider:

First of all Crozet is not a dirty word, it is a small town just West of Charlottesville.

Many times when I am out I find that I do not have a camera with me...but I always have my blackberry and it takes great photos. Recently I was out and took this photo:

Crozet Virginia

I was amazed at this skylight and the way it created let in so much light even on a cloudy day.

Well, I just happened to be in the new Harris Teeter in Crozet. Yes, I was grocery shopping with my wife :)

Ok, she was shopping and I was taking pictures... long story short, here is the poster on the way out of the store:

Crozet Virginia

I think the poster says it all!

A great idea from a great store.
