very cool, Jon. Michael

I have been researching the history of the school and am fascinated. Is there any way to get in contact with the owners of the property to go tour the school/interview them on its history?

Beautiful footage and even more beautiful music. I hope to see this property while it still remains.👏

Beautiful music. Beautiful footage. Subscribed. Thank you for sharing.

Where is this at in Powhatan? I’ve never seen it

Hi - is it possible that you have a contact to arrange access to this property. I'd like to get photos from both inside and out. Thanx

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

This was my high school also. Loved every year and my classmates

Very Nice! In th late 70's I was lucky enough to see the chapel when it was still be used some. After the earthquake they blocked it off completely and now no one can see it due to gates. Very unique place in Powhatan along with Bellmeade next door.

I recently started researching my family history and it's taken me to Powhatan and Cumberland County, Va. Im not sure if any of my relatives went to this school but I will be researching it to find out. My family are the Browns and Palmores.

I attended St Emma Military Academy from 1965-1967. We attended socials with the Ladies of St Francis. It was a different time in the history of the south and our nation. Not necessarily a good time!

I'm stunned. I've lived in Powhatan my whole life and never knew this beautiful site existed! Can't believe we aren't taught more about our county's history in schools.

Great looking house and property.

So wonderful seeing memories of old! and in such a beautiful way!...Class of '69

Generated very positive memories. My cousin attended St. Francis in the 1930s. My brother attended St. Emma Military Academy [SEMA] down the road. And I graduated SEMA in 1964.

Is this place still standing? And any signs of security when you went? Excellent work btw! And the school is fucking wicked beautiful.

preserving history doesnt fit in trumps america

Has anyone been inside this place in the past couple of years? Looks very well maintained , so assuming it's not really- truly vacant....

I liked your video! You should join our group on Facebook: Northern Virginia Drone Club (NVDC) facebook.com/groups/969168009885420/?ref=bookmarks&qsefr=1

Thanks for sharing this....had never heard of the school.

Nice video. Very cool shots. I just subscribed. Do you mind subscribing to my drone channel? Trying to get subscribers up. I really appreciate it. Again, nice job.

Nicely done!

Thank you for posting this wonderful school. Linda Perry. graduate of St. Francis 1967.

For those who may not have heard, the property of both St. Francis and St. Emma’s Military Academy have been put up for sale by the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. The announcement was made in early May 2016.richmondfreepress.com/news/2016/may/05/nuns-sell-st-emmas-st-francis-property-powhatan/

Thanks for posting this... I had known of the school as I live near Richmond, VA... I think you made too many quick cuts or edits in the first half.. I like the longer views toward the end... The Equal Rights Amendment was never ratified.. I assume you meant the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ...

Beautiful video... the location and everything is stunning !

What a wonderful thing you've done. I'm not an alum, nor had I ever heard of this fantastic history. Thank you.

Thanks so much for posting.....such a beautiful area and brings back wonderful memories of my time spent at the adjacent property Belmead when in high school....final class of Blessed Sacrament High School at Belmead, 1998.

My name is Peter Hurd. I'm a graduate of St. Emma, class of 1966. This video bought a tear to my eye, an explosion of memories, and an appreciation for the talents and efforts of those who produced it. We are privileged (attendees and graduates of both schools) to have been exposed this experience. peta skeeta '66

Thank you so much for this video. This is my high school - Class of '63. What wonderful memories you have brought to us all who now live far away. St. Francis de Sales gave us life lessons never forgotten. I watch this every day, it renews my soul.

Thanks for sharing this footage.I attended St. Emma Military Academy '69. St. Francis was our sister school. Spent a lot of time there. Would you consider doing something like this at our old campus?

This is my high school - Class of '68. Thank you so much for all of the beautiful memories your video brought back. We all need to work together to preserve this history. Thank you for documenting the site in such a wonderful way. P. Mc.

Thank you Soooo much! Soooo grateful for all the Blessings I received here...the education, guidance, friends, love and Prayers! ...Class of 1965! --- Pat (Tee) Blanco

Thanks so much for sharing this video. I grew up a few miles from St Francis, and the video brought up so many fond memories of my early childhood experiences with St Francis and the nuns. Again, thanks.

Amazing footage. Loved the original photos from the school.
