My name is Hannah Herrmann and I\u2019m currently an undergraduate student majoring in Psychology. I\u2019ve lived in Virginia my entire life, so I\u2019ve driven past historical markers and old farmland a million times, but I honestly never knew much about the specific stories behind them. This project gave me a chance to finally dig into the history of my home state, specifically looking at how the peanut industry shaped local communities after the Civil War.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Even though my classes usually focus on how the mind works, I think history and psychology go hand-in-hand. I\u2019m really interested in understanding people, whether they are here today or lived a hundred years ago, and seeing how they dealt with the challenges of their time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outside of class, you can usually find me working on homework, trying to hunt down the best iced coffee in town, or walking my German shepherd, Barnaby. I also work part-time at the campus library, which definitely came in handy when I was trying to track down texts for this project! I hope you find this site interesting and learn something new about Virginia&#8217;s nutty past.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/virginia.hannah-herrmann.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virginia.hannah-herrmann.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/virginia.hannah-herrmann.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/virginia.hannah-herrmann.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/virginia.hannah-herrmann.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/virginia.hannah-herrmann.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/virginia.hannah-herrmann.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there!
