The Avenel Foundation
The Avenel Foundation
The Avenel Foundation is composed of community volunteers whose mission is "to rescue, preserve, and protect Historic Avenel, a Bedford legacy, and to make this museum house, a unique landmark in Virginia, available for educational, social, business and other appropriate community uses."
​
The foundation is managed by a volunteer board of directors, who meet ten times a year.
With financial support from local businesses, the foundation offers events for the community such as a traditional fun Derby Day party, health-related events, activities for children, a Luau, an Oktoberfest, community fairs, and parties in December.
