For decades, Alexander Orchards was a popular local commercial apple orchard along Route 11 North where vistors bought fresh apples like Staymans and Winesaps.","The property centers around a highly historic site locally known as the Red House, which was built in 1796. The original log home was built by early pioneer John McDowell in the 1730s, who stripped the bark from the logs and stained them with ochre. Ochre is a natural clay earth pigment colored by iron oxide, varying in hue from pale yellow to deep orange, brown, and red.","The commercial apple orchard became inactive roughly around 2006. The apple trees were eventually removed, and the property transitioned into a private residence and beef cattle farm operated under Veranda Farm Properties. It sits adjacent to the historic McDowell burying gound.","The McDowell Cemetery, located just south of Fairfield, Virginia in Rockbridge County, Virginia, contains the grave and notable tombstones of Captain John McDowell. As the oldest burial place in the historic Borden Tract, it sits in a quiet field enclosed by a brick wall along U.S. Route 11, North Lee Highway. Captain John McDowell's gravesite is beside the family monument, and unique because it features two distinct markers standing side-by-side, which are an original 1743 primitive, hand-hewn, and crudely cut stone. Reflecting the early Ulster-Scots dialect of the region's settlers, it bears the phonetic inscription: \"HEER LYES THE BODY OF JOHN MACK DOWELL DECEMBER 18 1743\". A Memorial Monument was dedicated by McDowell descendants on August 10, 2019, a newer blue-gray granite headstone standing right next to the original. Captain John McDowell was a prominent surveyor and early leader who helped map the local wilderness. He was killed alongside seven of his militiamen on December 18, 1742, at Balcony Falls during a violent skirmish with an Iroquois raiding party. This clash marked the first major conflict between colonial settlers and Native Americans in the Shenandoah Valley, triggering a localized frontier war that was ultimately settled by the Treaty of Lancaster in 1744. He and his fallen men were buried together in this cemetery.","This photo is an 1855 McDowell Family large central monument, erected by 19th-century descendants to commemorate the virtues of \"Old Ephraim\" McDowell (John's father) and the generations of the family buried within the grounds. Dr. Ephraim McDowell (1771–1830) was an American physician and pioneer surgeon widely recognized as the \"father of abdominal surgery\" and operative gynecology. He gained historic prominence by successfully performing the world's first elective abdominal operation—specifically an ovariotomy—in Danville, Kentucky in 1809. James McDowell (October 13, 1795 – August 24, 1851) was an American politician who served as the 29th Governor of Virginia from 1843 to 1846 and later as a U.S. Congressman from 1846 until his death in 1851.

James was born at the \"Cherry Grove\" plantation in Rockbridge County, Virginia and attended Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) and Yale College before graduating from Princeton University (then the College of New Jersey) in 1817.","The central frame building was erected by William Brown on Henry Street, Lexington, Virginia.  He sold the building in 1785 to Matthew Hanna, the \"Holy Tanner.\"  In this house, under Mr. Hanna, church services were held before the Lexington Presbyterian Church was established.  Maj. John T. Gibbs, Quartermaster at the Virginia Military Institute, 1866-1881, lived in this house. Probably during his living there, the brick portion was added. The frame portion was taken down by Washington and Lee University in 1940. The brick portion of the house was later the McKemy Grocery store. McKemy's Store, which historically operated as McKemy's Cash Grocery, was a beloved local landmark in Lexington, Virginia, located at 102 North Main Street. The store was a local staple operating through the mid-20th century.","The original home site of pioneer John McNutt (c. 1725–1781) is located along the North River, now the Maury River, in Rockbridge County, Virginia, approximately six miles east of Lexington and one mile west of Buena Vista, Virginia. Settling the area around 1745 after migrating from Donegal, Ireland, John McNutt and his wife, Katherine Rebecca Anderson, built their original homestead on a 1768 Commonwealth land grant spanning the North River.","This house was built by Henry Mackey around 1794.

William Weaver (1819–1863) built the main home in two sections, circa 1819 and circa 1830, establishing it as Mount Pleasant. The Brady family came into possession of the property after Weaver's death in 1863. Weaver's nephew-in-law, Daniel C. E. Brady, took over management of the plantation and ironworks. His descendants have continued to live at and preserve the historic estate.\nThe Mount Pleasant estate sits along Forge Road and Buffalo Creek and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Brady family has been tied to the history of Buffalo Forge, which is a historic iron forge and agricultural plantation located in Rockbridge County, Virginia, since the mid-19th century. Today, descendants of the Brady family still own and reside at the private estate.","Mulberry Hill is a historic mansion located at 115 Liberty Hall Road, Lexington, Virginia, which currently serves as the national headquarters for the Kappa Alpha Order collegiate fraternity.

Designated as a Virginia State Park and National Historic Landmark, it was once surveyed by George Washington and owned by Thomas Jefferson. It is located in Rockbridge County, just off South I-81 and roughly 15 miles south of Lexington, Virginia.","You have always been able to drive or walk over the top of the Natural Bridge in Virginia, as it serves as a public roadway. However, the period when visitors were allowed to freely stand on the edge, look down, or be lowered from the top as a tourist attraction spanned from the late 1700s through the early 1920s. In the 1700s–1800s, early tourists routinely stood on top of the bridge to experience the thrilling heights. Famous figures like Thomas Jefferson wrote extensively about the dizzying sensation of looking down from the top. During the 19th century, the \"braver guests\" were even lowered over the edge from the top of the bridge in a hexagonal steel cage while a violinist played. In the 1920s when automobile traffic increased and the site transitioned under new corporate private ownership in 1925, pedestrian activities purely for sight-seeing from the top were restricted. Large cedar fences and protective barriers were built along the edges to prevent people from looking over or falling, shifting the primary tourist experience entirely to the trail underneath.  Route 11, South Lee Highway, still runs directly over the top of the bridge. If you drive or walk across the sidewalk of Route 11, you are technically standing on top of the Natural Bridge. However, because of safety fences and walls, you cannot see the arch or the canyon below from the top.","The Old Baptist Church on East Nelson Street in Lexington, Virginia, refers to a historic house of worship built in 1879, right behind the Lexington Presbyterian Church.

In 1876,the John H. Weiss family immigrated to the county from the Alsace-Lorraine region in northeastern France. Records from the August 28, 1919 Rockbridge County News detail the estate's lineage. Originally an expansive woodland and fruit orchard, it was significantly enhanced and developed as a residence by Mrs. Margaret L. Turner. In August 1918, Mrs. Turner sold the estate to Mr. George Chaplin. Exactly one year later, in August 1919, Chaplin sold the land to Charles K. Moser, an American diplomat serving as the U.S. Consul in Harbin, Manchuria. At one time it was owned by the Battle family. Today, Brushy Hill is primarily known as a quiet mountain retreat and home to the Brushy Hills Preserve, a 560-acre city-owned forested watershed featuring an extensive 14-mile network of public hiking, running, and mountain biking trails.","The Church was organized in 1746 by early Scotch-Irish Presbyterian immigrants, decades before Rockbridge County, Virginia was even formed in 1778. The first building of logs was erected in 1748 and was originally known as the Forks of the James Church and later Halls Meeting House, which was a hewn timber building erected in 1767. The third building of stone was erected in 1789 about 2 miles west of Lexington, Virginia and was used until 1853. Part of the structure still stands at the intersection of Route 60, West Midland Trail and Route 669, Beatty Hollow Road. It is historically recognized as the mother church of the Lexington Presbyterian Church, which originally began as an outpost of New Monmouth. The current red-brick building at Kerrs Creek was constructed in 1883–1884.","New Providence Presbyterian Church is located at 1208 New Providence Rd, Raphine, Virginia, just north of Brownsburg in northern Rockbridge County. Organized in 1746, it stands as one of the oldest Presbyterian congregations in the region. The current monumental brick structure was completed in 1859.","Lynchburg, Virginia, originally developed around the exact site where 17-year-old John Lynch established a ferry service across the James River in 1757. This crossing point, known as Lynch's Ferry, became a vital regional hub for shipping tobacco and commerce. By the mid-19th century, the flat-bottomed batteaux used at the ferry gave way to the James River and Kanawha Canal. This network allowed specialized passenger and cargo vessels—known as packet boats—to transit smoothly between Richmond, Virgnia and Lexington, Virginia. The historic packet boat Marshall built in 1861, was widely regarded as the finest packet boat to travel the canal. Pulled by teams of horses or mules walking along the riverbank towpaths, it transported mail, freight, and passengers overnight in relative comfort. The Marshall earned a permanent place in American history during the Civil War. On May 13, 1863, following the Battle of Chancellorsville, the boat was used to solemnly convey the body of Confederate General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson from the railroad terminal at Lynchburg up the canal to his final resting place in Lexington, Virginia. Following the expansion of local railroads and severe structural flood damage, the canal system shut down. It was not moved from Rockbridge County, Virginia, but originally beached on the James River riverbank in Lynchburg, Virginia following the closure of the canal in 1880. The abandoned boat briefly served as a unique house for an elderly local man and his sister at the turn of the 20th century. A massive flood in 1913 wrecked the makeshift living quarters, causing the wooden vessel to sink and become completely buried under sand and mud. Decades later in 1936, a section of the historic iron-reinforced hull was excavated and saved from the James River riverbed mud. Today, the metal remnants of the original vessel are preserved on public display as a historical monument at Riverside Park in Lynchburg, Virginia.  Since its initial placement in the park, the remnants of the hull have seen additional preservation efforts, including a protective covering built by the Lynchburg Historical Foundation.","Historical records from the Rockbridge Historical Society indicate that \"Dixie\" Nunn, whose actual name was Phil Nunn, lived and worked in Lexington, Virginia, during the mid-to-late 19th century and early 20th century. Phil Nunn was a well-known local African American resident. While some college students and cadets affectionately called him \"Old Dixie,\" local records indicate his close friends preferred his given name, Phil.","The Varner and Pole business originated in the late 19th century. It was tied to a multi-generational legacy of family furniture sales spearheaded by local cabinet-makers, carpenters, and undertakers like Charles Van Buren Varner (1837–1907) and his brother Andrew. By the early-to-mid 20th century, historical advertisements from the Lexington Gazette formally showcased the partnership as Varner and Pole, offering a wide range of local community services including furniture repair, custom window shades, a funeral directory, and an ambulance service.","Oak Lawn is a historic antebellum estate located in the Fancy Hill community of Rockbridge County, Virginia, built in 1849 for Nathan Moore.

In 1854, the property was purchased by Samuel Lewis and subsequently passed down through generations of the Lewis family. It is located at 6760 Deerfield Rd, Millboro, VA, and is a sprawling 2,500-acre outdoor preserve that offers guided bird, deer, and turkey hunting, alongside trout fishing and lodging.","The historic Sheridan Livery Building is located at 35 North Main Street, Lexington, Virginia. The building was originally constructed in 1887 by Captain John Sheridan, a Civil War cavalry veteran and Irish immigrant. The brick structure served as a horse stable, mail carrying center, and stagecoach depot.  Built by John Sheridan as a stable and a stagecoach line connecting Lexington, Virginia to Staunton, Virginia, and Hot Springs, Virginia. In 1919 it was old to the Rockbridge Steam Laundry Corporation after the rise of the automobile caused the livery business to decline. The company converted the massive carriage doors into windows and operated the community laundry facility here for 51 years In 1973 it was transformed into the \"Old Main Street Indoor Mall,\" a collective of small shops. In 1994 it was purchased by the Benincasa family, who conducted massive interior renovations while preserving the historic brick exterior, opening it as the Sheridan Livery Inn \u0026 Restaurant. In 2022 it was acquired by the neighboring boutique hotel The Georges. Following a high-end, luxury remodel, it now houses 12 premium guest rooms featuring 12-foot ceilings, canopy beds, and upscale event space.","Old Providence Church is located at 1005 Spottswood Road in Steeles Tavern, Virginia. As early as 1748, a log meeting house stood there. Apparently a more conservative Old Side group continued to hold services in the Spottswood area and in 1762 a group calling itself Old Providence petitioned the more conservative Associate Presbytery in Pennsylvania asking for pastoral supplies. For a number of years the two groups of conservative Presbyterians, one called Associate Reformed Presbyterian and one called Reformed, worshipped here. In 1793 a stone church, which is still standing was built. In 1859 it was succeeded by a brick church, which gave way to the present building in 1918. In the graveyard rest ancestors of Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the reaper, and fourteen Revolutionary soldiers.","Presbyterian settlers of the Upper Buffalo Valley in Rockbridge County, Virginia, founded a congregation in 1758 and constructed a log fort that was also used as a place of worship. A stone church replaced it after the Revolutionary War. The Rev. William Graham, founder and president of Liberty Hall Academy (present day Washington and Lee University), served as Oxford's pastor from 1788 to 1795. In 1868, local citizens, many of them Confederate veterans, constructed the present brick church in the Greek Revival style on part of the old stone church's foundation.","The Frank Padget Monument is a historic granite obelisk located in Centennial Park, at the intersection of Route 684, Blue Ridge Road and McCulloch Street in the town of Glasgow, Virginia, Rockbridge County. Erected in 1854, it is one of the earliest monuments in Virginia dedicated to honoring an African American slave. It stands as a testament to extraordinary courage, leadership, and self-sacrifice.","On January 21, 1854, heavy rains caused the James River to flood aggressively. A canal boat named the Clinton snapped its towrope and washed over the Mountain Dam, stranding its passengers in the treacherous rapids of Balcony Falls. Frank Padget, an enslaved man and highly skilled river boatman, stepped forward to lead a rescue team. Alongside five white volunteers, Padget navigated the raging waters and successfully saved dozens of stranded passengers. While making a final, perilous attempt to rescue the very last remaining passenger, Padget's craft crashed into a rock and shattered. Caught in the overwhelming current, Padget tragically drowned.","Deeply moved by Padget's ultimate sacrifice, an eyewitness to the tragedy, Captain Edward Echols, commissioned and paid for the monument in l854. The obelisk was initially erected next to Lock 16 of the Blue Ridge Canal along the James River. Over time, this location became remote, overgrown, and largely inaccessible to the public. In 1997, through community efforts, the monument was moved to its current location in Centennial Park near the Glasgow Town Hall, where it is preserved and accompanied by state historical markers.","The Buena Vista, Virginia Glen Maury Paxton home was built between 1829 and 1835 by the elder Elisha Paxton.

By the 1990s, college students called it the \"Münster House\". The property was purchased by new owners in 2018. It now operates as a private family getaway and a popular historic vacation rental for visitors traveling to Lexington, VMI, and Washington \u0026 Lee.","This Petty family home may be located along Route 633, Rockbridge Alum Springs Road and Bratton's Run in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Local historical societies and family archives note that this property belonged to descendants of the Agnor, Petty, and Patterson families. The home sat abandoned for several decades starting in the mid-1980s before ultimately burning down. According to U.S. Census records from 1930, 1935, and 1940, James Clifton Petty and his family resided in the Kerrs Creek Magisterial District of Rockbridge County, specifically along what was then documented as County Road 633. He is recorded in county land transactions during the mid-20th century. For instance, archived issues of the Rockbridge County News from May 1946 note a property transfer where a J.C.

The abandoned C\u0026O right of way was successfully converted into the Chessie Nature Trail, and the ancient stone piers that once held the C\u0026O railroad bridge can still be seen standing in the water near Jordan's Point Park.","\"Red Hill\" is a historic farm and estate located at 452 West Midland Trail in Rockbridge County, Virginia . The property has a long standing association with the Moore family, historically as a family residence, built circa 1871.","The Barclay Tavern, is known as one of the oldest buildings in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The circa 1790 two story,  brick dwelling is attributed to early land owner Clay Barclay and served as a tavern. The Red Mill was a grist mill, which is located across the road from the dwelling.  It was built circa 1880 and is located on Cedar Creek on the former Valley Road before it was re-routed in the mid 1930s to go through the Natural Bridge resort. This timber framed mill served local farmers by grinding grain using water power from Cedar Creek. An associated timber frame barn built around 1900 still sits nearby.","Reid's Dam is a historic canal ruin located along the Maury River in Rockbridge County, Virginia, situated roughly two miles southeast of the Lexington entrance of the Chessie Nature Trail. Built in the 1850s, Reid's Dam and its accompanying lock were part of the North River Navigation Company flatwater canal system, which was later bought by the James River and Kanawha Canal Company. After the canal went out of business due to the railroads, the site was repurposed to generate hydroelectric power until it was decommissioned and the dam structure was largely removed in 1930.","The home known historically as the Dan Reilly House in Lexington, Virginia, was the residence of Daniel McGuire Reilly, a well known local watchmaker, jeweler, silversmith and Confederate veteran. Dan Reilly was a prominent figure in late 19th and early 20th century Lexington. He lived there until his passing in December 1916 and was famously noted in town lore for never missing a Confederate veteran reunion. The home is recognized in regional architectural history and local columns tracking the evolution of downtown Lexington's historic district.  The home sits at a corner on Jefferson Street.","The original Grace Episcopal Church building, a smaller church structure was completely torn down in 1881 so that the current, much larger stone Gothic Revival sanctuary could be built on the exact same footprint. In 1903 to honor the former general's extensive service to the congregation and local universities, the church was renamed R.E. Lee Memorial Episcopal Church. In 2017, following years of internal dialogue regarding the legacy of Confederate memorialization, which intensified after national protests, the church vestry voted 7–5 on September 18, 2017, to officially drop the memorial name.  It became Grace Episcopal Church again.","The R. E. Lee memorial episcopal church rectory is located at 107 Lee Avenue in Lexington, Virginia. The home was built across a three-year span, 1821-1824 for Charles P. Dorman, a prominent Lexington attorney. The home was purchased by the church in 1854 to serve as its official parsonage/rectory. The rectory's most famous historical occupant was the Reverend William Nelson Pendleton. Pendleton, a West Point graduate, served as Robert E. Lee's Chief of Artillery during the Civil War before returning to Lexington to lead the parish for three decades. During his tenure, Robert E. Lee served closely alongside him on the church vestry. The building continuously served the parish for nearly 150 years until the late 20th century. Today, the preserved structure remains standing and is occupied as a private family residence.","The historical Riverside estate in Rockbridge County, Virginia, was built and developed on land originally settled by members of the Shields family. John Shields built the original family home here in 1771 near the scenic confluence of the South River and the Maury River, which was formerly the North River. Over the generations, the family's expansive riverside property grew into a distinct, active local village known as Riverside. Following the Civil War, the estate was managed as a large agricultural farm by Colonel John Shields.  He was a prominent veteran newspaper editor associated with regional publications like the Staunton Spectator and the Buena Vista Advocate. During the late 19th century industrial boom, investment firms purchased parts of the Shields estate at Riverside to expand development up the South River.","The Robert E. Lee Hotel in Lexington, Virginia, officially changed its name to The Gin Hotel, an Ascend Hotel Collection member. The hotel is located at 30 South Main Street, Lexington, Virginia.  Built in 1926, this historic six story brick building remains the tallest building in downtown Lexington. After serving as an apartment complex for several decades, the building underwent a massive renovation to restore its original 1920s grand hotel charm. It features beautifully preserved elements, including its original 1926 Otis elevator car upgraded with modern technology.","Rock Castle Farm, which was historically known simply as Rock Castle, is a historic home and estate located on the banks of West Whistle Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia, on the south side of Route 60, West Midland Trail. It is located across the road, a little futher west of the the site of the historic Old Monmouth Presbyterian Church and Old Monmouth Cemetery. It was built in the late 18th or early 19th century. The property was the home and farm of Dr. Samuel LeGrand Campbell (1765–1840) and his wife, Sally Alexander. Dr. Campbell was a prominent local physician, a Presbyterian elder, and served as the President of Washington College, now Washington and Lee University, from 1798 to 1802. He passed away at Rock Castle in April 1840 and is buried across the creek at Old Monmouth.","Located right in downtown Lexington, Virginia on South Randolph Street, The Castle is one of the city's oldest standing structures. Built around 1778, this rough-cut fieldstone and limestone building originally featured three separate rooms on each floor, each with its own exterior entrance. It historically served as a complex for lawyers' offices and housing for local students. It was left to the Rockbridge Historical Society in 1945 to serve as a meeting space and a repository for local historical materials.","The historic home of Dr. Robert Cooke is a picturesque stone house located along East Whistle Creek, on the north side of Route 60, West Midland Trail, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The property is described as a historic, highly attractive stone residence situated just below the historic old Brown's Woolen Factory site, right across the road from the creek. Dr. Robert Cooke (1874–1952) was a highly respected Public Health Officer for Lexington and Rockbridge County, serving the area for decades until his retirement in 1947. The \"Will Brown House and Woolen Factory\" refers to a prominent 19th-century industrial site located on Whistle Creek, just a few miles west of Lexington, Virginia. It was a major regional textile processor that spun raw local wool into commercial goods, including blankets, yarns, flannels, and heavy \"cassimere\" cloths.","The plate titled \"Rockbridge Alum Spring, Rockbridge County, Va.\" is one of the most famous panoramic lithographs from German artist Edward Beyer's landmark 1858 masterpiece, Album of Virginia; or, Illustration of the Old Dominion. Beyer spent three years traveling the state during the 1850s, drawing sketches of its landscape, before returning to Germany to print the album using advanced European lithographic technology. His piece on the Rockbridge Alum Springs provides a detailed, vibrant window into the peak era of Virginia's antebellum spa culture.","Rockbridge Alum Springs is a historic property located in western Rockbridge County, Virginia, near Goshen, that evolved from a premier 19th century mineral spring resort into a massive, modern youth camp operated by Young Life. Developed heavily in the 1850s, it was one of Virginia's most prestigious and exclusive antebellum spa complexes, ranking second in popularity only to White Sulphur Springs. The resort was famous for its rare, highly astringent aluminum-sulfate mineral waters, believed to cure chronic skin diseases, digestive ailments, and scrofula. The original complex featured a sprawling landscape centered around a columned pavilion, topped by a statue of Hygeia, the Greek goddess of health, built directly over the mineral spring. Guests stayed in grand brick hotels or long, uniform rows of cottages like \"Baltimore Row\".","The Rockbridge Baths Hotel and Springs was a historic antebellum spa complex located in the unincorporated community of Rockbridge Baths, Virginia, along the Maury River midway between Lexington and Goshen. While the resort was highly popular in the 19th century, the historic hotel burned to the ground in 1926 and was never rebuilt. The resort was named for its natural springs, which maintained a constant temperature of 72 degrees and were rich in iron, magnesium, and carbonic acid gas. Visitors flocked to the area under the belief that the waters cured digestive and other physical ailments. Built in 1857, the hotel accommodated between 150 to 200 guests. In its peak era, it served as a premier summer retreat for prominent figures, including General Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary Custis Lee. Guests recorded during its heyday are preserved in the Rockbridge Baths Hotel Ledger at Washington and Lee University. Following a decline in tourism at the turn of the century, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) purchased the property in 1921 to serve as a summer school campus. The devastating fire in 1926 ended these operations. While the hotel is gone, the spring, remnants of the original swimming pool, part of the dance hall, and a few cottages still remain in the area today.","The early history of the Rockbridge Fair in Lexington, Virginia, is rooted in the region's deep agricultural heritage, dating back to organized community gatherings in the 19th and mid 20th centuries. Long before a recurring county fair had a permanent home, 19th century farmers in Rockbridge County gathered for local stock shows and crop exhibitions. These early meetings allowed local farmers to exchange agricultural methods, showcase livestock, and foster community ties. By the 1940s, the fair took on a highly structured format when the Lexington Kiwanis Club stepped in as its primary sponsor. Historical records from The Rockbridge County News show that during World War II, the fair adapted to support the nation. For example, the 1942 fair featured a prominent War Savings Bonds and Stamps booth alongside its commercial and agricultural exhibits. The event served as a major commercial hub where local auto dealers, like Woody Chevrolet Sales and merchants, displayed their new fall inventories to crowds traveling into Lexington.  In the decades following World War II, the fair expanded its traditional agricultural footprint to incorporate classic midways, carnival rides, and domestic arts competitions like quilting and jam-making. In 1976, the community expanded its festival traditions. While the agricultural fair elements eventually consolidated into the regional expo format, a separate offshoot called the Rockbridge Community Festival was established in downtown Lexington to celebrate local arts, crafts, and non-profit charities. The agricultural fair found its modern, permanent home just north of Lexington at the Virginia Horse Center, maintaining its historical focus on 4-H youth livestock showcases, tractor pulls, and regional farming heritage.","The Rockbridge National Bank historically operated at 215 South Main Street in Lexington, Virginia.","Rose Hill is a historic Federal-style estate built in 1824 by Elisha Grigsby and his wife, Elizabeth Hawkins Porter Grigsby, located in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

However, the period when visitors were allowed to freely stand on the edge, look down, or be lowered from the top as a tourist attraction spanned from the late 1700s through the early 1920s. In the 1700s–1800s, early tourists routinely stood on top of the bridge to experience the thrilling heights. Famous figures like Thomas Jefferson wrote extensively about the dizzying sensation of looking down from the top. During the 19th century, the \"braver guests\" were even lowered over the edge from the top of the bridge in a hexagonal steel cage while a violinist played. In the 1920s when automobile traffic increased and the site transitioned under new corporate private ownership in 1925, pedestrian activities purely for sight-seeing from the top were restricted. Large cedar fences and protective barriers were built along the edges to prevent people from looking over or falling, shifting the primary tourist experience entirely to the trail underneath.  Route 11, South Lee Highway, still runs directly over the top of the bridge. If you drive or walk across the sidewalk of Route 11, you are technically standing on top of the Natural Bridge.

This crossing point, known as Lynch's Ferry, became a vital regional hub for shipping tobacco and commerce. By the mid-19th century, the flat-bottomed batteaux used at the ferry gave way to the James River and Kanawha Canal. This network allowed specialized passenger and cargo vessels—known as packet boats—to transit smoothly between Richmond, Virgnia and Lexington, Virginia. The historic packet boat Marshall built in 1861, was widely regarded as the finest packet boat to travel the canal. Pulled by teams of horses or mules walking along the riverbank towpaths, it transported mail, freight, and passengers overnight in relative comfort. The Marshall earned a permanent place in American history during the Civil War. On May 13, 1863, following the Battle of Chancellorsville, the boat was used to solemnly convey the body of Confederate General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson from the railroad terminal at Lynchburg up the canal to his final resting place in Lexington, Virginia. Following the expansion of local railroads and severe structural flood damage, the canal system shut down. It was not moved from Rockbridge County, Virginia, but originally beached on the James River riverbank in Lynchburg, Virginia following the closure of the canal in 1880. The abandoned boat briefly served as a unique house for an elderly local man and his sister at the turn of the 20th century. A massive flood in 1913 wrecked the makeshift living quarters, causing the wooden vessel to sink and become completely buried under sand and mud. Decades later in 1936, a section of the historic iron-reinforced hull was excavated and saved from the James River riverbed mud. Today, the metal remnants of the original vessel are preserved on public display as a historical monument at Riverside Park in Lynchburg, Virginia.

The resort was named for its natural springs, which maintained a constant temperature of 72 degrees and were rich in iron, magnesium, and carbonic acid gas. Visitors flocked to the area under the belief that the waters cured digestive and other physical ailments. Built in 1857, the hotel accommodated between 150 to 200 guests. In its peak era, it served as a premier summer retreat for prominent figures, including General Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary Custis Lee. Guests recorded during its heyday are preserved in the Rockbridge Baths Hotel Ledger at Washington and Lee University. Following a decline in tourism at the turn of the century, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) purchased the property in 1921 to serve as a summer school campus.

Long before a recurring county fair had a permanent home, 19th century farmers in Rockbridge County gathered for local stock shows and crop exhibitions. These early meetings allowed local farmers to exchange agricultural methods, showcase livestock, and foster community ties. By the 1940s, the fair took on a highly structured format when the Lexington Kiwanis Club stepped in as its primary sponsor. Historical records from The Rockbridge County News show that during World War II, the fair adapted to support the nation. For example, the 1942 fair featured a prominent War Savings Bonds and Stamps booth alongside its commercial and agricultural exhibits. The event served as a major commercial hub where local auto dealers, like Woody Chevrolet Sales and merchants, displayed their new fall inventories to crowds traveling into Lexington.  In the decades following World War II, the fair expanded its traditional agricultural footprint to incorporate classic midways, carnival rides, and domestic arts competitions like quilting and jam-making. In 1976, the community expanded its festival traditions. While the agricultural fair elements eventually consolidated into the regional expo format, a separate offshoot called the Rockbridge Community Festival was established in downtown Lexington to celebrate local arts, crafts, and non-profit charities. The agricultural fair found its modern, permanent home just north of Lexington at the Virginia Horse Center, maintaining its historical focus on 4-H youth livestock showcases, tractor pulls, and regional farming heritage.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Rockbridge National Bank historically operated at 215 South Main Street in Lexington, Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eRose Hill is a historic Federal-style estate built in 1824 by Elisha Grigsby and his wife, Elizabeth Hawkins Porter Grigsby, located in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

In 1907, it was purchased and transformed into the Central Hotel. In the mid-20th century, it was well known locally for its restaurant, \"The Liquid Lunch\". It was later restored as a country inn in the late 1970s before its eventual acquisition and transformation into The Georges.","The Tutwiler Building, shown in this photo, was located on South Main Street at the corner of East Nelson Street, south of the John McClelland building. Local newspaper archives from July 1914 note the demolition of these structures to clean out the older block and clear the way for newer commercial properties.","Dr. O. Hunter McClung, Jr., was a Lexington physician for more than 40 years.","The Frank McClung Home refers historically to the homestead of Frank Lee McClung, an prominent local merchant and descendant of the historic McClung family line in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

Frank Lee McClung (June 14, 1863 – June 8, 1936) was a well-known local merchant. He married Susan Kinnear. The property is tied culturally and geographically to the historic Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church, where generations of the McClung family are buried, including early ancestors who migrated to the region from Pennsylvania around 1742.","Midvale is a small unincorporated community located in Rockbridge County, Virginia, near the South River. It sits roughly 10 miles northeast of Buena Vista and about 15 miles northeast of downtown Lexington, Virginia.","Founded around 1860 by James Thaddeus (J.T.) McCrum, the drugstore became the ultimate social center for both Lexington residents and university students from Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute. Throughout the mid-20th century and into the 1970s, McCrum's was famous for never closing its doors. Because Lexington was near the historic intersection of U.S. Route 11 and Route 60, McCrum's served as a central crossroads for nationwide Greyhound buses. At all hours of the night, travelers would flood the store's restaurant section for country ham, Coca-Cola, and ice cream. The historic storefront eventually suffered from slow business due to the rise of major national retail chains like Walmart and Revco. Its final owner, Phyllis Miller, officially closed McCrum's in April 1993. The physical building stands on South Main Street in downtown Lexington, Virginia, where the name \"McCrum's\" is still associated with the local parking lot behind the building.","Alexander Orchard House, the Red House in Rockbridge County, Virginia, typically refers to the historic homestead associated with the former Alexander Orchards, located at Route 11, 4825 North Lee Highway, Fairfield, Virginia. For decades, Alexander Orchards was a popular local commercial apple orchard along Route 11 North where vistors bought fresh apples like Staymans and Winesaps.","The property centers around a highly historic site locally known as the Red House, which was built in 1796. The original log home was built by early pioneer John McDowell in the 1730s, who stripped the bark from the logs and stained them with ochre. Ochre is a natural clay earth pigment colored by iron oxide, varying in hue from pale yellow to deep orange, brown, and red.","The commercial apple orchard became inactive roughly around 2006. The apple trees were eventually removed, and the property transitioned into a private residence and beef cattle farm operated under Veranda Farm Properties. It sits adjacent to the historic McDowell burying gound.","The McDowell Cemetery, located just south of Fairfield, Virginia in Rockbridge County, Virginia, contains the grave and notable tombstones of Captain John McDowell. As the oldest burial place in the historic Borden Tract, it sits in a quiet field enclosed by a brick wall along U.S. Route 11, North Lee Highway. Captain John McDowell's gravesite is beside the family monument, and unique because it features two distinct markers standing side-by-side, which are an original 1743 primitive, hand-hewn, and crudely cut stone. Reflecting the early Ulster-Scots dialect of the region's settlers, it bears the phonetic inscription: \"HEER LYES THE BODY OF JOHN MACK DOWELL DECEMBER 18 1743\". A Memorial Monument was dedicated by McDowell descendants on August 10, 2019, a newer blue-gray granite headstone standing right next to the original. Captain John McDowell was a prominent surveyor and early leader who helped map the local wilderness. He was killed alongside seven of his militiamen on December 18, 1742, at Balcony Falls during a violent skirmish with an Iroquois raiding party. This clash marked the first major conflict between colonial settlers and Native Americans in the Shenandoah Valley, triggering a localized frontier war that was ultimately settled by the Treaty of Lancaster in 1744. He and his fallen men were buried together in this cemetery.","This photo is an 1855 McDowell Family large central monument, erected by 19th-century descendants to commemorate the virtues of \"Old Ephraim\" McDowell (John's father) and the generations of the family buried within the grounds. Dr. Ephraim McDowell (1771–1830) was an American physician and pioneer surgeon widely recognized as the \"father of abdominal surgery\" and operative gynecology. He gained historic prominence by successfully performing the world's first elective abdominal operation—specifically an ovariotomy—in Danville, Kentucky in 1809. James McDowell (October 13, 1795 – August 24, 1851) was an American politician who served as the 29th Governor of Virginia from 1843 to 1846 and later as a U.S. Congressman from 1846 until his death in 1851. A member of the Democratic Party, McDowell was known as an intellectual, an accomplished orator, and a moderate reformer during the complex antebellum period. James was born at the \"Cherry Grove\" plantation in Rockbridge County, Virginia and attended Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) and Yale College before graduating from Princeton University (then the College of New Jersey) in 1817.","The central frame building was erected by William Brown on Henry Street, Lexington, Virginia.  He sold the building in 1785 to Matthew Hanna, the \"Holy Tanner.\"  In this house, under Mr. Hanna, church services were held before the Lexington Presbyterian Church was established.  Maj. John T. Gibbs, Quartermaster at the Virginia Military Institute, 1866-1881, lived in this house. Probably during his living there, the brick portion was added. The frame portion was taken down by Washington and Lee University in 1940. The brick portion of the house was later the McKemy Grocery store. McKemy's Store, which historically operated as McKemy's Cash Grocery, was a beloved local landmark in Lexington, Virginia, located at 102 North Main Street. The store was a local staple operating through the mid-20th century.","The original home site of pioneer John McNutt (c. 1725–1781) is located along the North River, now the Maury River, in Rockbridge County, Virginia, approximately six miles east of Lexington and one mile west of Buena Vista, Virginia. Settling the area around 1745 after migrating from Donegal, Ireland, John McNutt and his wife, Katherine Rebecca Anderson, built their original homestead on a 1768 Commonwealth land grant spanning the North River.","This house was built by Henry Mackey around 1794.

William Weaver (1819–1863) built the main home in two sections, circa 1819 and circa 1830, establishing it as Mount Pleasant. The Brady family came into possession of the property after Weaver's death in 1863. Weaver's nephew-in-law, Daniel C. E. Brady, took over management of the plantation and ironworks. His descendants have continued to live at and preserve the historic estate.\nThe Mount Pleasant estate sits along Forge Road and Buffalo Creek and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Designated as a Virginia State Park and National Historic Landmark, it was once surveyed by George Washington and owned by Thomas Jefferson. It is located in Rockbridge County, just off South I-81 and roughly 15 miles south of Lexington, Virginia.","You have always been able to drive or walk over the top of the Natural Bridge in Virginia, as it serves as a public roadway. However, the period when visitors were allowed to freely stand on the edge, look down, or be lowered from the top as a tourist attraction spanned from the late 1700s through the early 1920s. In the 1700s–1800s, early tourists routinely stood on top of the bridge to experience the thrilling heights. Famous figures like Thomas Jefferson wrote extensively about the dizzying sensation of looking down from the top. During the 19th century, the \"braver guests\" were even lowered over the edge from the top of the bridge in a hexagonal steel cage while a violinist played. In the 1920s when automobile traffic increased and the site transitioned under new corporate private ownership in 1925, pedestrian activities purely for sight-seeing from the top were restricted. Large cedar fences and protective barriers were built along the edges to prevent people from looking over or falling, shifting the primary tourist experience entirely to the trail underneath.  Route 11, South Lee Highway, still runs directly over the top of the bridge. If you drive or walk across the sidewalk of Route 11, you are technically standing on top of the Natural Bridge. However, because of safety fences and walls, you cannot see the arch or the canyon below from the top.","The Old Baptist Church on East Nelson Street in Lexington, Virginia, refers to a historic house of worship built in 1879, right behind the Lexington Presbyterian Church.

In 1876,the John H. Weiss family immigrated to the county from the Alsace-Lorraine region in northeastern France. Records from the August 28, 1919 Rockbridge County News detail the estate's lineage. Originally an expansive woodland and fruit orchard, it was significantly enhanced and developed as a residence by Mrs. Margaret L. Turner. In August 1918, Mrs. Turner sold the estate to Mr. George Chaplin. Exactly one year later, in August 1919, Chaplin sold the land to Charles K. Moser, an American diplomat serving as the U.S. Consul in Harbin, Manchuria. At one time it was owned by the Battle family. Today, Brushy Hill is primarily known as a quiet mountain retreat and home to the Brushy Hills Preserve, a 560-acre city-owned forested watershed featuring an extensive 14-mile network of public hiking, running, and mountain biking trails.","The Church was organized in 1746 by early Scotch-Irish Presbyterian immigrants, decades before Rockbridge County, Virginia was even formed in 1778. The first building of logs was erected in 1748 and was originally known as the Forks of the James Church and later Halls Meeting House, which was a hewn timber building erected in 1767. The third building of stone was erected in 1789 about 2 miles west of Lexington, Virginia and was used until 1853. Part of the structure still stands at the intersection of Route 60, West Midland Trail and Route 669, Beatty Hollow Road.

This crossing point, known as Lynch's Ferry, became a vital regional hub for shipping tobacco and commerce. By the mid-19th century, the flat-bottomed batteaux used at the ferry gave way to the James River and Kanawha Canal. This network allowed specialized passenger and cargo vessels—known as packet boats—to transit smoothly between Richmond, Virgnia and Lexington, Virginia. The historic packet boat Marshall built in 1861, was widely regarded as the finest packet boat to travel the canal. Pulled by teams of horses or mules walking along the riverbank towpaths, it transported mail, freight, and passengers overnight in relative comfort. The Marshall earned a permanent place in American history during the Civil War. On May 13, 1863, following the Battle of Chancellorsville, the boat was used to solemnly convey the body of Confederate General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson from the railroad terminal at Lynchburg up the canal to his final resting place in Lexington, Virginia. Following the expansion of local railroads and severe structural flood damage, the canal system shut down. It was not moved from Rockbridge County, Virginia, but originally beached on the James River riverbank in Lynchburg, Virginia following the closure of the canal in 1880. The abandoned boat briefly served as a unique house for an elderly local man and his sister at the turn of the 20th century. A massive flood in 1913 wrecked the makeshift living quarters, causing the wooden vessel to sink and become completely buried under sand and mud. Decades later in 1936, a section of the historic iron-reinforced hull was excavated and saved from the James River riverbed mud. Today, the metal remnants of the original vessel are preserved on public display as a historical monument at Riverside Park in Lynchburg, Virginia.  Since its initial placement in the park, the remnants of the hull have seen additional preservation efforts, including a protective covering built by the Lynchburg Historical Foundation.","Historical records from the Rockbridge Historical Society indicate that \"Dixie\" Nunn, whose actual name was Phil Nunn, lived and worked in Lexington, Virginia, during the mid-to-late 19th century and early 20th century. Phil Nunn was a well-known local African American resident. While some college students and cadets affectionately called him \"Old Dixie,\" local records indicate his close friends preferred his given name, Phil.","The Varner and Pole business originated in the late 19th century. It was tied to a multi-generational legacy of family furniture sales spearheaded by local cabinet-makers, carpenters, and undertakers like Charles Van Buren Varner (1837–1907) and his brother Andrew. By the early-to-mid 20th century, historical advertisements from the Lexington Gazette formally showcased the partnership as Varner and Pole, offering a wide range of local community services including furniture repair, custom window shades, a funeral directory, and an ambulance service.","Oak Lawn is a historic antebellum estate located in the Fancy Hill community of Rockbridge County, Virginia, built in 1849 for Nathan Moore.

The building was originally constructed in 1887 by Captain John Sheridan, a Civil War cavalry veteran and Irish immigrant. The brick structure served as a horse stable, mail carrying center, and stagecoach depot.  Built by John Sheridan as a stable and a stagecoach line connecting Lexington, Virginia to Staunton, Virginia, and Hot Springs, Virginia. In 1919 it was old to the Rockbridge Steam Laundry Corporation after the rise of the automobile caused the livery business to decline. The company converted the massive carriage doors into windows and operated the community laundry facility here for 51 years In 1973 it was transformed into the \"Old Main Street Indoor Mall,\" a collective of small shops. In 1994 it was purchased by the Benincasa family, who conducted massive interior renovations while preserving the historic brick exterior, opening it as the Sheridan Livery Inn \u0026 Restaurant. In 2022 it was acquired by the neighboring boutique hotel The Georges. Following a high-end, luxury remodel, it now houses 12 premium guest rooms featuring 12-foot ceilings, canopy beds, and upscale event space.","Old Providence Church is located at 1005 Spottswood Road in Steeles Tavern, Virginia. As early as 1748, a log meeting house stood there. Apparently a more conservative Old Side group continued to hold services in the Spottswood area and in 1762 a group calling itself Old Providence petitioned the more conservative Associate Presbytery in Pennsylvania asking for pastoral supplies. For a number of years the two groups of conservative Presbyterians, one called Associate Reformed Presbyterian and one called Reformed, worshipped here. In 1793 a stone church, which is still standing was built. In 1859 it was succeeded by a brick church, which gave way to the present building in 1918. In the graveyard rest ancestors of Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the reaper, and fourteen Revolutionary soldiers.","Presbyterian settlers of the Upper Buffalo Valley in Rockbridge County, Virginia, founded a congregation in 1758 and constructed a log fort that was also used as a place of worship. A stone church replaced it after the Revolutionary War. The Rev. William Graham, founder and president of Liberty Hall Academy (present day Washington and Lee University), served as Oxford's pastor from 1788 to 1795. In 1868, local citizens, many of them Confederate veterans, constructed the present brick church in the Greek Revival style on part of the old stone church's foundation.","The Frank Padget Monument is a historic granite obelisk located in Centennial Park, at the intersection of Route 684, Blue Ridge Road and McCulloch Street in the town of Glasgow, Virginia, Rockbridge County. Erected in 1854, it is one of the earliest monuments in Virginia dedicated to honoring an African American slave. It stands as a testament to extraordinary courage, leadership, and self-sacrifice.","On January 21, 1854, heavy rains caused the James River to flood aggressively. A canal boat named the Clinton snapped its towrope and washed over the Mountain Dam, stranding its passengers in the treacherous rapids of Balcony Falls. Frank Padget, an enslaved man and highly skilled river boatman, stepped forward to lead a rescue team. Alongside five white volunteers, Padget navigated the raging waters and successfully saved dozens of stranded passengers. While making a final, perilous attempt to rescue the very last remaining passenger, Padget's craft crashed into a rock and shattered. Caught in the overwhelming current, Padget tragically drowned.","Deeply moved by Padget's ultimate sacrifice, an eyewitness to the tragedy, Captain Edward Echols, commissioned and paid for the monument in l854. The obelisk was initially erected next to Lock 16 of the Blue Ridge Canal along the James River. Over time, this location became remote, overgrown, and largely inaccessible to the public. In 1997, through community efforts, the monument was moved to its current location in Centennial Park near the Glasgow Town Hall, where it is preserved and accompanied by state historical markers.","The Buena Vista, Virginia Glen Maury Paxton home was built between 1829 and 1835 by the elder Elisha Paxton.

By the 1990s, college students called it the \"Münster House\". The property was purchased by new owners in 2018. It now operates as a private family getaway and a popular historic vacation rental for visitors traveling to Lexington, VMI, and Washington \u0026 Lee.","This Petty family home may be located along Route 633, Rockbridge Alum Springs Road and Bratton's Run in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Local historical societies and family archives note that this property belonged to descendants of the Agnor, Petty, and Patterson families. The home sat abandoned for several decades starting in the mid-1980s before ultimately burning down. According to U.S. Census records from 1930, 1935, and 1940, James Clifton Petty and his family resided in the Kerrs Creek Magisterial District of Rockbridge County, specifically along what was then documented as County Road 633. He is recorded in county land transactions during the mid-20th century. For instance, archived issues of the Rockbridge County News from May 1946 note a property transfer where a J.C.

It was restored and made the O D K Headquarters.","Higgins and Irvine was a prominent retail lumber, planing mill, and builder's supply company that operated in Lexington, Virginia during the mid-20th century. The company served the Rockbridge County region as a primary supplier of retail lumber, general building materials, and millwork.","Jordan's Point Park is a scenic public park and registered historic district located at Stono Lane in East Lexington, Virginia, situated along the banks of the Maury River. Historically functioning as Lexington's bustling industrial and transportation hub during the 1800s, the site now serves as a peaceful community park combining outdoor recreation with deep local history.","In the 1950s, a Baltimore and Ohio (B\u0026O) Railroad spur ran directly through the back campus of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, passing near the current Woods Creek area. The trains that serviced the town during that era were typically steam or early diesel locomotives hauling freight and coal. The tracks through the back campus of W\u0026L ultimately ceased operations, and the rails were completely removed after the B\u0026O/C\u0026O (Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio) lines were retired and the trestle over the Maury River was destroyed by flooding from Hurricane Camille in 1969. Today, parts of the old railbed are preserved as part of the W\u0026L Back Campus trail system and The Chessie Trail which runs to Buena Vista, Virginia.","The C\u0026O Freight Yard and East Lexington infrastructure were historically located at Jordan's Point, along the north bank of the Maury River. This historic terminal and junction sat just east of Route 11 North on the Old Buena Vista Road, roughly where the Chessie Nature Trail begins today.","The railroad line wound into Lexington from Buena Vista along the banks of the Maury River. It established its yard and freight transfers in the East Lexington area at Jordan's Point before crossing a long curved trestle over the river to climb toward the downtown depot.","According to historical documentation, the Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio (C\u0026O) and the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio (B\u0026O) railroads met and shared trackage roughly half a mile east of Route 11 North, along the Old Buena Vista Road.","This freight layout and its riverside tracks were entirely wiped out in August 1969 by Hurricane Camille, which washed away the crucial connecting bridges and railroad trestles. The C\u0026O subsequently abandoned the route rather than rebuilding it.","If you visit the site today, you will find no active tracks. The abandoned C\u0026O right of way was successfully converted into the Chessie Nature Trail, and the ancient stone piers that once held the C\u0026O railroad bridge can still be seen standing in the water near Jordan's Point Park.","\"Red Hill\" is a historic farm and estate located at 452 West Midland Trail in Rockbridge County, Virginia . The property has a long standing association with the Moore family, historically as a family residence, built circa 1871.","The Barclay Tavern, is known as one of the oldest buildings in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The circa 1790 two story,  brick dwelling is attributed to early land owner Clay Barclay and served as a tavern. The Red Mill was a grist mill, which is located across the road from the dwelling.  It was built circa 1880 and is located on Cedar Creek on the former Valley Road before it was re-routed in the mid 1930s to go through the Natural Bridge resort. This timber framed mill served local farmers by grinding grain using water power from Cedar Creek. An associated timber frame barn built around 1900 still sits nearby.","Reid's Dam is a historic canal ruin located along the Maury River in Rockbridge County, Virginia, situated roughly two miles southeast of the Lexington entrance of the Chessie Nature Trail. Built in the 1850s, Reid's Dam and its accompanying lock were part of the North River Navigation Company flatwater canal system, which was later bought by the James River and Kanawha Canal Company. After the canal went out of business due to the railroads, the site was repurposed to generate hydroelectric power until it was decommissioned and the dam structure was largely removed in 1930.","The home known historically as the Dan Reilly House in Lexington, Virginia, was the residence of Daniel McGuire Reilly, a well known local watchmaker, jeweler, silversmith and Confederate veteran. Dan Reilly was a prominent figure in late 19th and early 20th century Lexington. He lived there until his passing in December 1916 and was famously noted in town lore for never missing a Confederate veteran reunion. The home is recognized in regional architectural history and local columns tracking the evolution of downtown Lexington's historic district.  The home sits at a corner on Jefferson Street.","The original Grace Episcopal Church building, a smaller church structure was completely torn down in 1881 so that the current, much larger stone Gothic Revival sanctuary could be built on the exact same footprint. In 1903 to honor the former general's extensive service to the congregation and local universities, the church was renamed R.E. Lee Memorial Episcopal Church. In 2017, following years of internal dialogue regarding the legacy of Confederate memorialization, which intensified after national protests, the church vestry voted 7–5 on September 18, 2017, to officially drop the memorial name.  It became Grace Episcopal Church again.","The R. E. Lee memorial episcopal church rectory is located at 107 Lee Avenue in Lexington, Virginia. The home was built across a three-year span, 1821-1824 for Charles P. Dorman, a prominent Lexington attorney. The home was purchased by the church in 1854 to serve as its official parsonage/rectory. The rectory's most famous historical occupant was the Reverend William Nelson Pendleton. Pendleton, a West Point graduate, served as Robert E. Lee's Chief of Artillery during the Civil War before returning to Lexington to lead the parish for three decades. During his tenure, Robert E. Lee served closely alongside him on the church vestry. The building continuously served the parish for nearly 150 years until the late 20th century. Today, the preserved structure remains standing and is occupied as a private family residence.","The historical Riverside estate in Rockbridge County, Virginia, was built and developed on land originally settled by members of the Shields family. John Shields built the original family home here in 1771 near the scenic confluence of the South River and the Maury River, which was formerly the North River. Over the generations, the family's expansive riverside property grew into a distinct, active local village known as Riverside. Following the Civil War, the estate was managed as a large agricultural farm by Colonel John Shields.  He was a prominent veteran newspaper editor associated with regional publications like the Staunton Spectator and the Buena Vista Advocate. During the late 19th century industrial boom, investment firms purchased parts of the Shields estate at Riverside to expand development up the South River.","The Robert E. Lee Hotel in Lexington, Virginia, officially changed its name to The Gin Hotel, an Ascend Hotel Collection member. The hotel is located at 30 South Main Street, Lexington, Virginia.  Built in 1926, this historic six story brick building remains the tallest building in downtown Lexington. After serving as an apartment complex for several decades, the building underwent a massive renovation to restore its original 1920s grand hotel charm. It features beautifully preserved elements, including its original 1926 Otis elevator car upgraded with modern technology.","Rock Castle Farm, which was historically known simply as Rock Castle, is a historic home and estate located on the banks of West Whistle Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia, on the south side of Route 60, West Midland Trail. It is located across the road, a little futher west of the the site of the historic Old Monmouth Presbyterian Church and Old Monmouth Cemetery. It was built in the late 18th or early 19th century. The property was the home and farm of Dr. Samuel LeGrand Campbell (1765–1840) and his wife, Sally Alexander. Dr. Campbell was a prominent local physician, a Presbyterian elder, and served as the President of Washington College, now Washington and Lee University, from 1798 to 1802. He passed away at Rock Castle in April 1840 and is buried across the creek at Old Monmouth.","Located right in downtown Lexington, Virginia on South Randolph Street, The Castle is one of the city's oldest standing structures. Built around 1778, this rough-cut fieldstone and limestone building originally featured three separate rooms on each floor, each with its own exterior entrance. It historically served as a complex for lawyers' offices and housing for local students. It was left to the Rockbridge Historical Society in 1945 to serve as a meeting space and a repository for local historical materials.","The historic home of Dr. Robert Cooke is a picturesque stone house located along East Whistle Creek, on the north side of Route 60, West Midland Trail, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The property is described as a historic, highly attractive stone residence situated just below the historic old Brown's Woolen Factory site, right across the road from the creek. Dr. Robert Cooke (1874–1952) was a highly respected Public Health Officer for Lexington and Rockbridge County, serving the area for decades until his retirement in 1947. The \"Will Brown House and Woolen Factory\" refers to a prominent 19th-century industrial site located on Whistle Creek, just a few miles west of Lexington, Virginia. It was a major regional textile processor that spun raw local wool into commercial goods, including blankets, yarns, flannels, and heavy \"cassimere\" cloths.","The plate titled \"Rockbridge Alum Spring, Rockbridge County, Va.\" is one of the most famous panoramic lithographs from German artist Edward Beyer's landmark 1858 masterpiece, Album of Virginia; or, Illustration of the Old Dominion. Beyer spent three years traveling the state during the 1850s, drawing sketches of its landscape, before returning to Germany to print the album using advanced European lithographic technology. His piece on the Rockbridge Alum Springs provides a detailed, vibrant window into the peak era of Virginia's antebellum spa culture.","Rockbridge Alum Springs is a historic property located in western Rockbridge County, Virginia, near Goshen, that evolved from a premier 19th century mineral spring resort into a massive, modern youth camp operated by Young Life. Developed heavily in the 1850s, it was one of Virginia's most prestigious and exclusive antebellum spa complexes, ranking second in popularity only to White Sulphur Springs. The resort was famous for its rare, highly astringent aluminum-sulfate mineral waters, believed to cure chronic skin diseases, digestive ailments, and scrofula. The original complex featured a sprawling landscape centered around a columned pavilion, topped by a statue of Hygeia, the Greek goddess of health, built directly over the mineral spring. Guests stayed in grand brick hotels or long, uniform rows of cottages like \"Baltimore Row\".","The Rockbridge Baths Hotel and Springs was a historic antebellum spa complex located in the unincorporated community of Rockbridge Baths, Virginia, along the Maury River midway between Lexington and Goshen. While the resort was highly popular in the 19th century, the historic hotel burned to the ground in 1926 and was never rebuilt. The resort was named for its natural springs, which maintained a constant temperature of 72 degrees and were rich in iron, magnesium, and carbonic acid gas. Visitors flocked to the area under the belief that the waters cured digestive and other physical ailments. Built in 1857, the hotel accommodated between 150 to 200 guests. In its peak era, it served as a premier summer retreat for prominent figures, including General Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary Custis Lee. Guests recorded during its heyday are preserved in the Rockbridge Baths Hotel Ledger at Washington and Lee University. Following a decline in tourism at the turn of the century, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) purchased the property in 1921 to serve as a summer school campus. The devastating fire in 1926 ended these operations. While the hotel is gone, the spring, remnants of the original swimming pool, part of the dance hall, and a few cottages still remain in the area today.","The early history of the Rockbridge Fair in Lexington, Virginia, is rooted in the region's deep agricultural heritage, dating back to organized community gatherings in the 19th and mid 20th centuries. Long before a recurring county fair had a permanent home, 19th century farmers in Rockbridge County gathered for local stock shows and crop exhibitions. These early meetings allowed local farmers to exchange agricultural methods, showcase livestock, and foster community ties. By the 1940s, the fair took on a highly structured format when the Lexington Kiwanis Club stepped in as its primary sponsor. Historical records from The Rockbridge County News show that during World War II, the fair adapted to support the nation. For example, the 1942 fair featured a prominent War Savings Bonds and Stamps booth alongside its commercial and agricultural exhibits. The event served as a major commercial hub where local auto dealers, like Woody Chevrolet Sales and merchants, displayed their new fall inventories to crowds traveling into Lexington.  In the decades following World War II, the fair expanded its traditional agricultural footprint to incorporate classic midways, carnival rides, and domestic arts competitions like quilting and jam-making. In 1976, the community expanded its festival traditions. While the agricultural fair elements eventually consolidated into the regional expo format, a separate offshoot called the Rockbridge Community Festival was established in downtown Lexington to celebrate local arts, crafts, and non-profit charities. The agricultural fair found its modern, permanent home just north of Lexington at the Virginia Horse Center, maintaining its historical focus on 4-H youth livestock showcases, tractor pulls, and regional farming heritage.","The Rockbridge National Bank historically operated at 215 South Main Street in Lexington, Virginia.","Rose Hill is a historic Federal-style estate built in 1824 by Elisha Grigsby and his wife, Elizabeth Hawkins Porter Grigsby, located in Rockbridge County, Virginia. It is one of the \"Seven Hills homes of Rockbridge.\" Elisha Grigsby (1774–1847) was the sixth child of \"Soldier John\" Grigsby, a prominent early settler of the region. He built Rose Hill in 1824. The estate adjoins Fruit Hill, the original homestead of Soldier John Grigsby. The other six \"Hill\" houses tied to the interconnected Grigsby, Welch, and Greenlee families include Cherry Hill, Fruit Hill, Fancy Hill, Hickory Hill, Clover Hill, and Liberty Hill."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMargaret and Sarah are the girls of Helen Deaver Beckwith.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePhoto of Louise at 2 years and 10 months, by Miley.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMrs. Brush is leaning over another woman, who is working with framed items.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePhoto by Miley, Lexington, VA.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eLula as a baby photographed by Mrs. N.

His first mission in 1849 was to establish missions in California and provide services in San Francico during the California gold rush.","The William Taylor Hotel is a historic 28 story, 308 foot skyscraper located at 100 McAllister Street in the Tenderloin/Civic Center neighborhood of San Francisco, California. Completed in January 1930, the building was a unique collaboration by four Methodist congregations. It combined a 1,500-seat sanctuary (Temple Methodist Episcopal Church) on the lower floors with a 500-room luxury hotel (William Taylor Hotel) above it to help pay off construction debts. It was designed in a striking Gothic Revival and Art Deco style by architects Miller \u0026 Pflueger and Lewis P. Hobart.1936 Struggling with massive debts during the Great Depression, the church faced foreclosure. The property was converted entirely into the Empire Hotel. It famously launched the \"Sky Room\" on the 24th floor, which was the very first panoramic view lounge cocktail bar in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1942 during World War II, the U.S. government acquired the building to support the war effort. For decades, it was used as federal office space housing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the local draft board, and Army procurement units. In 1978 the University of California purchased the tower. It was extensively renovated and reopened in 1981 as McAllister Tower, providing secure, convenient apartments and mixed-use offices for law students and their families.","The McCampbell Inn is located at 11 North Main Street, Lexington, Virginia. The central brick structure was originally built as a townhouse by John McCampbell in 1809. A small two-room southern wing was added around 1816, followed by a larger northern addition in 1857. Two-story back porches were later constructed in 1971. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the building evolved to serve as a private residence, a jewelry store, a doctor's office, a boarding house, and the town's telegraph and post office. In 1907, it was purchased and transformed into the Central Hotel. In the mid-20th century, it was well known locally for its restaurant, \"The Liquid Lunch\". It was later restored as a country inn in the late 1970s before its eventual acquisition and transformation into The Georges.","The Tutwiler Building, shown in this photo, was located on South Main Street at the corner of East Nelson Street, south of the John McClelland building. Local newspaper archives from July 1914 note the demolition of these structures to clean out the older block and clear the way for newer commercial properties.","Dr. O. Hunter McClung, Jr., was a Lexington physician for more than 40 years.","The Frank McClung Home refers historically to the homestead of Frank Lee McClung, an prominent local merchant and descendant of the historic McClung family line in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

It sits roughly 10 miles northeast of Buena Vista and about 15 miles northeast of downtown Lexington, Virginia.","Founded around 1860 by James Thaddeus (J.T.) McCrum, the drugstore became the ultimate social center for both Lexington residents and university students from Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute. Throughout the mid-20th century and into the 1970s, McCrum's was famous for never closing its doors. Because Lexington was near the historic intersection of U.S. Route 11 and Route 60, McCrum's served as a central crossroads for nationwide Greyhound buses. At all hours of the night, travelers would flood the store's restaurant section for country ham, Coca-Cola, and ice cream. The historic storefront eventually suffered from slow business due to the rise of major national retail chains like Walmart and Revco. Its final owner, Phyllis Miller, officially closed McCrum's in April 1993. The physical building stands on South Main Street in downtown Lexington, Virginia, where the name \"McCrum's\" is still associated with the local parking lot behind the building.","Alexander Orchard House, the Red House in Rockbridge County, Virginia, typically refers to the historic homestead associated with the former Alexander Orchards, located at Route 11, 4825 North Lee Highway, Fairfield, Virginia. For decades, Alexander Orchards was a popular local commercial apple orchard along Route 11 North where vistors bought fresh apples like Staymans and Winesaps.","The property centers around a highly historic site locally known as the Red House, which was built in 1796. The original log home was built by early pioneer John McDowell in the 1730s, who stripped the bark from the logs and stained them with ochre. Ochre is a natural clay earth pigment colored by iron oxide, varying in hue from pale yellow to deep orange, brown, and red.","The commercial apple orchard became inactive roughly around 2006.

It sits adjacent to the historic McDowell burying gound.","The McDowell Cemetery, located just south of Fairfield, Virginia in Rockbridge County, Virginia, contains the grave and notable tombstones of Captain John McDowell. As the oldest burial place in the historic Borden Tract, it sits in a quiet field enclosed by a brick wall along U.S. Route 11, North Lee Highway. Captain John McDowell's gravesite is beside the family monument, and unique because it features two distinct markers standing side-by-side, which are an original 1743 primitive, hand-hewn, and crudely cut stone. Reflecting the early Ulster-Scots dialect of the region's settlers, it bears the phonetic inscription: \"HEER LYES THE BODY OF JOHN MACK DOWELL DECEMBER 18 1743\". A Memorial Monument was dedicated by McDowell descendants on August 10, 2019, a newer blue-gray granite headstone standing right next to the original. Captain John McDowell was a prominent surveyor and early leader who helped map the local wilderness. He was killed alongside seven of his militiamen on December 18, 1742, at Balcony Falls during a violent skirmish with an Iroquois raiding party. This clash marked the first major conflict between colonial settlers and Native Americans in the Shenandoah Valley, triggering a localized frontier war that was ultimately settled by the Treaty of Lancaster in 1744. He and his fallen men were buried together in this cemetery.","This photo is an 1855 McDowell Family large central monument, erected by 19th-century descendants to commemorate the virtues of \"Old Ephraim\" McDowell (John's father) and the generations of the family buried within the grounds. Dr. Ephraim McDowell (1771–1830) was an American physician and pioneer surgeon widely recognized as the \"father of abdominal surgery\" and operative gynecology.

A member of the Democratic Party, McDowell was known as an intellectual, an accomplished orator, and a moderate reformer during the complex antebellum period. James was born at the \"Cherry Grove\" plantation in Rockbridge County, Virginia and attended Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) and Yale College before graduating from Princeton University (then the College of New Jersey) in 1817.","The central frame building was erected by William Brown on Henry Street, Lexington, Virginia.  He sold the building in 1785 to Matthew Hanna, the \"Holy Tanner.\"  In this house, under Mr. Hanna, church services were held before the Lexington Presbyterian Church was established.  Maj. John T. Gibbs, Quartermaster at the Virginia Military Institute, 1866-1881, lived in this house. Probably during his living there, the brick portion was added. The frame portion was taken down by Washington and Lee University in 1940. The brick portion of the house was later the McKemy Grocery store. McKemy's Store, which historically operated as McKemy's Cash Grocery, was a beloved local landmark in Lexington, Virginia, located at 102 North Main Street.

William Weaver (1819–1863) built the main home in two sections, circa 1819 and circa 1830, establishing it as Mount Pleasant. The Brady family came into possession of the property after Weaver's death in 1863. Weaver's nephew-in-law, Daniel C. E. Brady, took over management of the plantation and ironworks. His descendants have continued to live at and preserve the historic estate.\nThe Mount Pleasant estate sits along Forge Road and Buffalo Creek and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Designated as a Virginia State Park and National Historic Landmark, it was once surveyed by George Washington and owned by Thomas Jefferson. It is located in Rockbridge County, just off South I-81 and roughly 15 miles south of Lexington, Virginia.","You have always been able to drive or walk over the top of the Natural Bridge in Virginia, as it serves as a public roadway. However, the period when visitors were allowed to freely stand on the edge, look down, or be lowered from the top as a tourist attraction spanned from the late 1700s through the early 1920s. In the 1700s–1800s, early tourists routinely stood on top of the bridge to experience the thrilling heights. Famous figures like Thomas Jefferson wrote extensively about the dizzying sensation of looking down from the top. During the 19th century, the \"braver guests\" were even lowered over the edge from the top of the bridge in a hexagonal steel cage while a violinist played. In the 1920s when automobile traffic increased and the site transitioned under new corporate private ownership in 1925, pedestrian activities purely for sight-seeing from the top were restricted. Large cedar fences and protective barriers were built along the edges to prevent people from looking over or falling, shifting the primary tourist experience entirely to the trail underneath.  Route 11, South Lee Highway, still runs directly over the top of the bridge. If you drive or walk across the sidewalk of Route 11, you are technically standing on top of the Natural Bridge. However, because of safety fences and walls, you cannot see the arch or the canyon below from the top.","The Old Baptist Church on East Nelson Street in Lexington, Virginia, refers to a historic house of worship built in 1879, right behind the Lexington Presbyterian Church.

In 1876,the John H. Weiss family immigrated to the county from the Alsace-Lorraine region in northeastern France. Records from the August 28, 1919 Rockbridge County News detail the estate's lineage. Originally an expansive woodland and fruit orchard, it was significantly enhanced and developed as a residence by Mrs. Margaret L. Turner. In August 1918, Mrs. Turner sold the estate to Mr. George Chaplin. Exactly one year later, in August 1919, Chaplin sold the land to Charles K. Moser, an American diplomat serving as the U.S. Consul in Harbin, Manchuria. At one time it was owned by the Battle family.

This crossing point, known as Lynch's Ferry, became a vital regional hub for shipping tobacco and commerce. By the mid-19th century, the flat-bottomed batteaux used at the ferry gave way to the James River and Kanawha Canal. This network allowed specialized passenger and cargo vessels—known as packet boats—to transit smoothly between Richmond, Virgnia and Lexington, Virginia. The historic packet boat Marshall built in 1861, was widely regarded as the finest packet boat to travel the canal. Pulled by teams of horses or mules walking along the riverbank towpaths, it transported mail, freight, and passengers overnight in relative comfort. The Marshall earned a permanent place in American history during the Civil War. On May 13, 1863, following the Battle of Chancellorsville, the boat was used to solemnly convey the body of Confederate General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson from the railroad terminal at Lynchburg up the canal to his final resting place in Lexington, Virginia. Following the expansion of local railroads and severe structural flood damage, the canal system shut down. It was not moved from Rockbridge County, Virginia, but originally beached on the James River riverbank in Lynchburg, Virginia following the closure of the canal in 1880. The abandoned boat briefly served as a unique house for an elderly local man and his sister at the turn of the 20th century. A massive flood in 1913 wrecked the makeshift living quarters, causing the wooden vessel to sink and become completely buried under sand and mud. Decades later in 1936, a section of the historic iron-reinforced hull was excavated and saved from the James River riverbed mud. Today, the metal remnants of the original vessel are preserved on public display as a historical monument at Riverside Park in Lynchburg, Virginia.  Since its initial placement in the park, the remnants of the hull have seen additional preservation efforts, including a protective covering built by the Lynchburg Historical Foundation.","Historical records from the Rockbridge Historical Society indicate that \"Dixie\" Nunn, whose actual name was Phil Nunn, lived and worked in Lexington, Virginia, during the mid-to-late 19th century and early 20th century. Phil Nunn was a well-known local African American resident. While some college students and cadets affectionately called him \"Old Dixie,\" local records indicate his close friends preferred his given name, Phil.","The Varner and Pole business originated in the late 19th century. It was tied to a multi-generational legacy of family furniture sales spearheaded by local cabinet-makers, carpenters, and undertakers like Charles Van Buren Varner (1837–1907) and his brother Andrew. By the early-to-mid 20th century, historical advertisements from the Lexington Gazette formally showcased the partnership as Varner and Pole, offering a wide range of local community services including furniture repair, custom window shades, a funeral directory, and an ambulance service.","Oak Lawn is a historic antebellum estate located in the Fancy Hill community of Rockbridge County, Virginia, built in 1849 for Nathan Moore.

The building was originally constructed in 1887 by Captain John Sheridan, a Civil War cavalry veteran and Irish immigrant. The brick structure served as a horse stable, mail carrying center, and stagecoach depot.  Built by John Sheridan as a stable and a stagecoach line connecting Lexington, Virginia to Staunton, Virginia, and Hot Springs, Virginia. In 1919 it was old to the Rockbridge Steam Laundry Corporation after the rise of the automobile caused the livery business to decline. The company converted the massive carriage doors into windows and operated the community laundry facility here for 51 years In 1973 it was transformed into the \"Old Main Street Indoor Mall,\" a collective of small shops. In 1994 it was purchased by the Benincasa family, who conducted massive interior renovations while preserving the historic brick exterior, opening it as the Sheridan Livery Inn \u0026 Restaurant. In 2022 it was acquired by the neighboring boutique hotel The Georges. Following a high-end, luxury remodel, it now houses 12 premium guest rooms featuring 12-foot ceilings, canopy beds, and upscale event space.","Old Providence Church is located at 1005 Spottswood Road in Steeles Tavern, Virginia. As early as 1748, a log meeting house stood there. Apparently a more conservative Old Side group continued to hold services in the Spottswood area and in 1762 a group calling itself Old Providence petitioned the more conservative Associate Presbytery in Pennsylvania asking for pastoral supplies. For a number of years the two groups of conservative Presbyterians, one called Associate Reformed Presbyterian and one called Reformed, worshipped here. In 1793 a stone church, which is still standing was built. In 1859 it was succeeded by a brick church, which gave way to the present building in 1918. In the graveyard rest ancestors of Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the reaper, and fourteen Revolutionary soldiers.","Presbyterian settlers of the Upper Buffalo Valley in Rockbridge County, Virginia, founded a congregation in 1758 and constructed a log fort that was also used as a place of worship. A stone church replaced it after the Revolutionary War. The Rev. William Graham, founder and president of Liberty Hall Academy (present day Washington and Lee University), served as Oxford's pastor from 1788 to 1795. In 1868, local citizens, many of them Confederate veterans, constructed the present brick church in the Greek Revival style on part of the old stone church's foundation.","The Frank Padget Monument is a historic granite obelisk located in Centennial Park, at the intersection of Route 684, Blue Ridge Road and McCulloch Street in the town of Glasgow, Virginia, Rockbridge County. Erected in 1854, it is one of the earliest monuments in Virginia dedicated to honoring an African American slave. It stands as a testament to extraordinary courage, leadership, and self-sacrifice.","On January 21, 1854, heavy rains caused the James River to flood aggressively. A canal boat named the Clinton snapped its towrope and washed over the Mountain Dam, stranding its passengers in the treacherous rapids of Balcony Falls. Frank Padget, an enslaved man and highly skilled river boatman, stepped forward to lead a rescue team. Alongside five white volunteers, Padget navigated the raging waters and successfully saved dozens of stranded passengers. While making a final, perilous attempt to rescue the very last remaining passenger, Padget's craft crashed into a rock and shattered. Caught in the overwhelming current, Padget tragically drowned.","Deeply moved by Padget's ultimate sacrifice, an eyewitness to the tragedy, Captain Edward Echols, commissioned and paid for the monument in l854. The obelisk was initially erected next to Lock 16 of the Blue Ridge Canal along the James River. Over time, this location became remote, overgrown, and largely inaccessible to the public. In 1997, through community efforts, the monument was moved to its current location in Centennial Park near the Glasgow Town Hall, where it is preserved and accompanied by state historical markers.","The Buena Vista, Virginia Glen Maury Paxton home was built between 1829 and 1835 by the elder Elisha Paxton.

It now operates as a private family getaway and a popular historic vacation rental for visitors traveling to Lexington, VMI, and Washington \u0026 Lee.","This Petty family home may be located along Route 633, Rockbridge Alum Springs Road and Bratton's Run in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Local historical societies and family archives note that this property belonged to descendants of the Agnor, Petty, and Patterson families. The home sat abandoned for several decades starting in the mid-1980s before ultimately burning down. According to U.S. Census records from 1930, 1935, and 1940, James Clifton Petty and his family resided in the Kerrs Creek Magisterial District of Rockbridge County, specifically along what was then documented as County Road 633.

Passenger and freight train operations were entirely wiped out by severe flooding from Hurricane Camille in August 1969.","Prior to the coming of trains, the Lexington area heavily relied on the James River and Kanawha Canal and the North River Canal, now the Maury River. By the early 1880s, the railroad boom finally made its way to the city, introducing two competing lines:","The Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio (C\u0026O), originating from the east, and the Richmond \u0026 Allegheny Railroad (later acquired by the C\u0026O) built a line along the old canal towpath, terminating at Jordan's Point in Lexington by 1881. Because town space was tight, trains turned around before the point and backed into the station.","The Valley Railroad Company (later the B\u0026O) built a line stretching south from Staunton, terminating in Lexington in 1883.","The two lines joined up northeast of the city and shared a single station on a site just west of downtown.","The Lexington Train Station was built in 1883. The historic station originally sat where Washington and Lee University's Wilson Hall is today. To save the depot from demolition, it was moved across the street in 2004. It was restored and made the O D K Headquarters.","This may be the accident shown in these photos. The most notable train accident reported in Rockbridge County, Virginia during the 1920s occurred on August 17, 1924, when a Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio (C\u0026O) train jumped the tracks near Goshen, Virginia, killing Engineer Floyd instantly. The Cause was heavy overgrowth of weeds and grass which had covered the rails. As the train traveled down the steep grade, the vegetation was crushed, creating a slick layer of oil and moisture on the tracks. The train began to coast and slide blindly down the incline. Upon hitting a curve near the bottom of the grade, the locomotive jumped the tracks and completely turned over.","The Railroad history in Lexington, Virginia, is defined by late 19th century competition, geographic challenges, and the eventual conversion of the town's primary railway line into a popular rail trail. Passenger and freight train operations were entirely wiped out by severe flooding from Hurricane Camille in August 1969.","Prior to the coming of trains, the Lexington area heavily relied on the James River and Kanawha Canal and the North River Canal, now the Maury River.

The company served the Rockbridge County region as a primary supplier of retail lumber, general building materials, and millwork.","Jordan's Point Park is a scenic public park and registered historic district located at Stono Lane in East Lexington, Virginia, situated along the banks of the Maury River. Historically functioning as Lexington's bustling industrial and transportation hub during the 1800s, the site now serves as a peaceful community park combining outdoor recreation with deep local history.","In the 1950s, a Baltimore and Ohio (B\u0026O) Railroad spur ran directly through the back campus of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, passing near the current Woods Creek area. The trains that serviced the town during that era were typically steam or early diesel locomotives hauling freight and coal. The tracks through the back campus of W\u0026L ultimately ceased operations, and the rails were completely removed after the B\u0026O/C\u0026O (Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio) lines were retired and the trestle over the Maury River was destroyed by flooding from Hurricane Camille in 1969. Today, parts of the old railbed are preserved as part of the W\u0026L Back Campus trail system and The Chessie Trail which runs to Buena Vista, Virginia.","The C\u0026O Freight Yard and East Lexington infrastructure were historically located at Jordan's Point, along the north bank of the Maury River. This historic terminal and junction sat just east of Route 11 North on the Old Buena Vista Road, roughly where the Chessie Nature Trail begins today.","The railroad line wound into Lexington from Buena Vista along the banks of the Maury River. It established its yard and freight transfers in the East Lexington area at Jordan's Point before crossing a long curved trestle over the river to climb toward the downtown depot.","According to historical documentation, the Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio (C\u0026O) and the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio (B\u0026O) railroads met and shared trackage roughly half a mile east of Route 11 North, along the Old Buena Vista Road.","This freight layout and its riverside tracks were entirely wiped out in August 1969 by Hurricane Camille, which washed away the crucial connecting bridges and railroad trestles. The C\u0026O subsequently abandoned the route rather than rebuilding it.","If you visit the site today, you will find no active tracks. The abandoned C\u0026O right of way was successfully converted into the Chessie Nature Trail, and the ancient stone piers that once held the C\u0026O railroad bridge can still be seen standing in the water near Jordan's Point Park.","\"Red Hill\" is a historic farm and estate located at 452 West Midland Trail in Rockbridge County, Virginia . The property has a long standing association with the Moore family, historically as a family residence, built circa 1871.","The Barclay Tavern, is known as one of the oldest buildings in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The circa 1790 two story,  brick dwelling is attributed to early land owner Clay Barclay and served as a tavern. The Red Mill was a grist mill, which is located across the road from the dwelling.  It was built circa 1880 and is located on Cedar Creek on the former Valley Road before it was re-routed in the mid 1930s to go through the Natural Bridge resort. This timber framed mill served local farmers by grinding grain using water power from Cedar Creek. An associated timber frame barn built around 1900 still sits nearby.","Reid's Dam is a historic canal ruin located along the Maury River in Rockbridge County, Virginia, situated roughly two miles southeast of the Lexington entrance of the Chessie Nature Trail. Built in the 1850s, Reid's Dam and its accompanying lock were part of the North River Navigation Company flatwater canal system, which was later bought by the James River and Kanawha Canal Company. After the canal went out of business due to the railroads, the site was repurposed to generate hydroelectric power until it was decommissioned and the dam structure was largely removed in 1930.","The home known historically as the Dan Reilly House in Lexington, Virginia, was the residence of Daniel McGuire Reilly, a well known local watchmaker, jeweler, silversmith and Confederate veteran. Dan Reilly was a prominent figure in late 19th and early 20th century Lexington. He lived there until his passing in December 1916 and was famously noted in town lore for never missing a Confederate veteran reunion. The home is recognized in regional architectural history and local columns tracking the evolution of downtown Lexington's historic district.  The home sits at a corner on Jefferson Street.","The original Grace Episcopal Church building, a smaller church structure was completely torn down in 1881 so that the current, much larger stone Gothic Revival sanctuary could be built on the exact same footprint. In 1903 to honor the former general's extensive service to the congregation and local universities, the church was renamed R.E. Lee Memorial Episcopal Church. In 2017, following years of internal dialogue regarding the legacy of Confederate memorialization, which intensified after national protests, the church vestry voted 7–5 on September 18, 2017, to officially drop the memorial name.  It became Grace Episcopal Church again.","The R. E. Lee memorial episcopal church rectory is located at 107 Lee Avenue in Lexington, Virginia. The home was built across a three-year span, 1821-1824 for Charles P. Dorman, a prominent Lexington attorney. The home was purchased by the church in 1854 to serve as its official parsonage/rectory. The rectory's most famous historical occupant was the Reverend William Nelson Pendleton. Pendleton, a West Point graduate, served as Robert E. Lee's Chief of Artillery during the Civil War before returning to Lexington to lead the parish for three decades. During his tenure, Robert E. Lee served closely alongside him on the church vestry. The building continuously served the parish for nearly 150 years until the late 20th century. Today, the preserved structure remains standing and is occupied as a private family residence.","The historical Riverside estate in Rockbridge County, Virginia, was built and developed on land originally settled by members of the Shields family. John Shields built the original family home here in 1771 near the scenic confluence of the South River and the Maury River, which was formerly the North River. Over the generations, the family's expansive riverside property grew into a distinct, active local village known as Riverside. Following the Civil War, the estate was managed as a large agricultural farm by Colonel John Shields.  He was a prominent veteran newspaper editor associated with regional publications like the Staunton Spectator and the Buena Vista Advocate. During the late 19th century industrial boom, investment firms purchased parts of the Shields estate at Riverside to expand development up the South River.","The Robert E. Lee Hotel in Lexington, Virginia, officially changed its name to The Gin Hotel, an Ascend Hotel Collection member. The hotel is located at 30 South Main Street, Lexington, Virginia.  Built in 1926, this historic six story brick building remains the tallest building in downtown Lexington. After serving as an apartment complex for several decades, the building underwent a massive renovation to restore its original 1920s grand hotel charm. It features beautifully preserved elements, including its original 1926 Otis elevator car upgraded with modern technology.","Rock Castle Farm, which was historically known simply as Rock Castle, is a historic home and estate located on the banks of West Whistle Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia, on the south side of Route 60, West Midland Trail. It is located across the road, a little futher west of the the site of the historic Old Monmouth Presbyterian Church and Old Monmouth Cemetery. It was built in the late 18th or early 19th century. The property was the home and farm of Dr. Samuel LeGrand Campbell (1765–1840) and his wife, Sally Alexander. Dr. Campbell was a prominent local physician, a Presbyterian elder, and served as the President of Washington College, now Washington and Lee University, from 1798 to 1802. He passed away at Rock Castle in April 1840 and is buried across the creek at Old Monmouth.","Located right in downtown Lexington, Virginia on South Randolph Street, The Castle is one of the city's oldest standing structures. Built around 1778, this rough-cut fieldstone and limestone building originally featured three separate rooms on each floor, each with its own exterior entrance. It historically served as a complex for lawyers' offices and housing for local students. It was left to the Rockbridge Historical Society in 1945 to serve as a meeting space and a repository for local historical materials.","The historic home of Dr. Robert Cooke is a picturesque stone house located along East Whistle Creek, on the north side of Route 60, West Midland Trail, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The property is described as a historic, highly attractive stone residence situated just below the historic old Brown's Woolen Factory site, right across the road from the creek. Dr. Robert Cooke (1874–1952) was a highly respected Public Health Officer for Lexington and Rockbridge County, serving the area for decades until his retirement in 1947. The \"Will Brown House and Woolen Factory\" refers to a prominent 19th-century industrial site located on Whistle Creek, just a few miles west of Lexington, Virginia. It was a major regional textile processor that spun raw local wool into commercial goods, including blankets, yarns, flannels, and heavy \"cassimere\" cloths.","The plate titled \"Rockbridge Alum Spring, Rockbridge County, Va.\" is one of the most famous panoramic lithographs from German artist Edward Beyer's landmark 1858 masterpiece, Album of Virginia; or, Illustration of the Old Dominion. Beyer spent three years traveling the state during the 1850s, drawing sketches of its landscape, before returning to Germany to print the album using advanced European lithographic technology. His piece on the Rockbridge Alum Springs provides a detailed, vibrant window into the peak era of Virginia's antebellum spa culture.","Rockbridge Alum Springs is a historic property located in western Rockbridge County, Virginia, near Goshen, that evolved from a premier 19th century mineral spring resort into a massive, modern youth camp operated by Young Life. Developed heavily in the 1850s, it was one of Virginia's most prestigious and exclusive antebellum spa complexes, ranking second in popularity only to White Sulphur Springs. The resort was famous for its rare, highly astringent aluminum-sulfate mineral waters, believed to cure chronic skin diseases, digestive ailments, and scrofula. The original complex featured a sprawling landscape centered around a columned pavilion, topped by a statue of Hygeia, the Greek goddess of health, built directly over the mineral spring. Guests stayed in grand brick hotels or long, uniform rows of cottages like \"Baltimore Row\".","The Rockbridge Baths Hotel and Springs was a historic antebellum spa complex located in the unincorporated community of Rockbridge Baths, Virginia, along the Maury River midway between Lexington and Goshen. While the resort was highly popular in the 19th century, the historic hotel burned to the ground in 1926 and was never rebuilt. The resort was named for its natural springs, which maintained a constant temperature of 72 degrees and were rich in iron, magnesium, and carbonic acid gas. Visitors flocked to the area under the belief that the waters cured digestive and other physical ailments. Built in 1857, the hotel accommodated between 150 to 200 guests. In its peak era, it served as a premier summer retreat for prominent figures, including General Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary Custis Lee. Guests recorded during its heyday are preserved in the Rockbridge Baths Hotel Ledger at Washington and Lee University. Following a decline in tourism at the turn of the century, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) purchased the property in 1921 to serve as a summer school campus. The devastating fire in 1926 ended these operations. While the hotel is gone, the spring, remnants of the original swimming pool, part of the dance hall, and a few cottages still remain in the area today.","The early history of the Rockbridge Fair in Lexington, Virginia, is rooted in the region's deep agricultural heritage, dating back to organized community gatherings in the 19th and mid 20th centuries. Long before a recurring county fair had a permanent home, 19th century farmers in Rockbridge County gathered for local stock shows and crop exhibitions. These early meetings allowed local farmers to exchange agricultural methods, showcase livestock, and foster community ties. By the 1940s, the fair took on a highly structured format when the Lexington Kiwanis Club stepped in as its primary sponsor. Historical records from The Rockbridge County News show that during World War II, the fair adapted to support the nation. For example, the 1942 fair featured a prominent War Savings Bonds and Stamps booth alongside its commercial and agricultural exhibits. The event served as a major commercial hub where local auto dealers, like Woody Chevrolet Sales and merchants, displayed their new fall inventories to crowds traveling into Lexington.  In the decades following World War II, the fair expanded its traditional agricultural footprint to incorporate classic midways, carnival rides, and domestic arts competitions like quilting and jam-making. In 1976, the community expanded its festival traditions. While the agricultural fair elements eventually consolidated into the regional expo format, a separate offshoot called the Rockbridge Community Festival was established in downtown Lexington to celebrate local arts, crafts, and non-profit charities. The agricultural fair found its modern, permanent home just north of Lexington at the Virginia Horse Center, maintaining its historical focus on 4-H youth livestock showcases, tractor pulls, and regional farming heritage.","The Rockbridge National Bank historically operated at 215 South Main Street in Lexington, Virginia.","Rose Hill is a historic Federal-style estate built in 1824 by Elisha Grigsby and his wife, Elizabeth Hawkins Porter Grigsby, located in Rockbridge County, Virginia. It is one of the \"Seven Hills homes of Rockbridge.\" Elisha Grigsby (1774–1847) was the sixth child of \"Soldier John\" Grigsby, a prominent early settler of the region. He built Rose Hill in 1824. The estate adjoins Fruit Hill, the original homestead of Soldier John Grigsby. The other six \"Hill\" houses tied to the interconnected Grigsby, Welch, and Greenlee families include Cherry Hill, Fruit Hill, Fancy Hill, Hickory Hill, Clover Hill, and Liberty Hill.","Margaret and Sarah are the girls of Helen Deaver Beckwith.","Photo of Louise at 2 years and 10 months, by Miley.","Mrs. Brush is leaning over another woman, who is working with framed items.","Photo by Miley, Lexington, VA.","Lula as a baby photographed by Mrs. N.

However, the period when visitors were allowed to freely stand on the edge, look down, or be lowered from the top as a tourist attraction spanned from the late 1700s through the early 1920s. In the 1700s–1800s, early tourists routinely stood on top of the bridge to experience the thrilling heights. Famous figures like Thomas Jefferson wrote extensively about the dizzying sensation of looking down from the top. During the 19th century, the \"braver guests\" were even lowered over the edge from the top of the bridge in a hexagonal steel cage while a violinist played. In the 1920s when automobile traffic increased and the site transitioned under new corporate private ownership in 1925, pedestrian activities purely for sight-seeing from the top were restricted. Large cedar fences and protective barriers were built along the edges to prevent people from looking over or falling, shifting the primary tourist experience entirely to the trail underneath.

This crossing point, known as Lynch's Ferry, became a vital regional hub for shipping tobacco and commerce. By the mid-19th century, the flat-bottomed batteaux used at the ferry gave way to the James River and Kanawha Canal. This network allowed specialized passenger and cargo vessels—known as packet boats—to transit smoothly between Richmond, Virgnia and Lexington, Virginia. The historic packet boat Marshall built in 1861, was widely regarded as the finest packet boat to travel the canal. Pulled by teams of horses or mules walking along the riverbank towpaths, it transported mail, freight, and passengers overnight in relative comfort. The Marshall earned a permanent place in American history during the Civil War. On May 13, 1863, following the Battle of Chancellorsville, the boat was used to solemnly convey the body of Confederate General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson from the railroad terminal at Lynchburg up the canal to his final resting place in Lexington, Virginia. Following the expansion of local railroads and severe structural flood damage, the canal system shut down. It was not moved from Rockbridge County, Virginia, but originally beached on the James River riverbank in Lynchburg, Virginia following the closure of the canal in 1880. The abandoned boat briefly served as a unique house for an elderly local man and his sister at the turn of the 20th century. A massive flood in 1913 wrecked the makeshift living quarters, causing the wooden vessel to sink and become completely buried under sand and mud. Decades later in 1936, a section of the historic iron-reinforced hull was excavated and saved from the James River riverbed mud.

The resort was named for its natural springs, which maintained a constant temperature of 72 degrees and were rich in iron, magnesium, and carbonic acid gas. Visitors flocked to the area under the belief that the waters cured digestive and other physical ailments. Built in 1857, the hotel accommodated between 150 to 200 guests. In its peak era, it served as a premier summer retreat for prominent figures, including General Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary Custis Lee.

Long before a recurring county fair had a permanent home, 19th century farmers in Rockbridge County gathered for local stock shows and crop exhibitions. These early meetings allowed local farmers to exchange agricultural methods, showcase livestock, and foster community ties. By the 1940s, the fair took on a highly structured format when the Lexington Kiwanis Club stepped in as its primary sponsor. Historical records from The Rockbridge County News show that during World War II, the fair adapted to support the nation. For example, the 1942 fair featured a prominent War Savings Bonds and Stamps booth alongside its commercial and agricultural exhibits. The event served as a major commercial hub where local auto dealers, like Woody Chevrolet Sales and merchants, displayed their new fall inventories to crowds traveling into Lexington.  In the decades following World War II, the fair expanded its traditional agricultural footprint to incorporate classic midways, carnival rides, and domestic arts competitions like quilting and jam-making. In 1976, the community expanded its festival traditions. While the agricultural fair elements eventually consolidated into the regional expo format, a separate offshoot called the Rockbridge Community Festival was established in downtown Lexington to celebrate local arts, crafts, and non-profit charities. The agricultural fair found its modern, permanent home just north of Lexington at the Virginia Horse Center, maintaining its historical focus on 4-H youth livestock showcases, tractor pulls, and regional farming heritage.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe Rockbridge National Bank historically operated at 215 South Main Street in Lexington, Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eRose Hill is a historic Federal-style estate built in 1824 by Elisha Grigsby and his wife, Elizabeth Hawkins Porter Grigsby, located in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

The central brick structure was originally built as a townhouse by John McCampbell in 1809. A small two-room southern wing was added around 1816, followed by a larger northern addition in 1857. Two-story back porches were later constructed in 1971. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the building evolved to serve as a private residence, a jewelry store, a doctor's office, a boarding house, and the town's telegraph and post office. In 1907, it was purchased and transformed into the Central Hotel. In the mid-20th century, it was well known locally for its restaurant, \"The Liquid Lunch\". It was later restored as a country inn in the late 1970s before its eventual acquisition and transformation into The Georges.","The Tutwiler Building, shown in this photo, was located on South Main Street at the corner of East Nelson Street, south of the John McClelland building. Local newspaper archives from July 1914 note the demolition of these structures to clean out the older block and clear the way for newer commercial properties.","Dr. O. Hunter McClung, Jr., was a Lexington physician for more than 40 years.","The Frank McClung Home refers historically to the homestead of Frank Lee McClung, an prominent local merchant and descendant of the historic McClung family line in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

It sits roughly 10 miles northeast of Buena Vista and about 15 miles northeast of downtown Lexington, Virginia.","Founded around 1860 by James Thaddeus (J.T.) McCrum, the drugstore became the ultimate social center for both Lexington residents and university students from Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute. Throughout the mid-20th century and into the 1970s, McCrum's was famous for never closing its doors. Because Lexington was near the historic intersection of U.S. Route 11 and Route 60, McCrum's served as a central crossroads for nationwide Greyhound buses. At all hours of the night, travelers would flood the store's restaurant section for country ham, Coca-Cola, and ice cream. The historic storefront eventually suffered from slow business due to the rise of major national retail chains like Walmart and Revco. Its final owner, Phyllis Miller, officially closed McCrum's in April 1993. The physical building stands on South Main Street in downtown Lexington, Virginia, where the name \"McCrum's\" is still associated with the local parking lot behind the building.","Alexander Orchard House, the Red House in Rockbridge County, Virginia, typically refers to the historic homestead associated with the former Alexander Orchards, located at Route 11, 4825 North Lee Highway, Fairfield, Virginia. For decades, Alexander Orchards was a popular local commercial apple orchard along Route 11 North where vistors bought fresh apples like Staymans and Winesaps.","The property centers around a highly historic site locally known as the Red House, which was built in 1796. The original log home was built by early pioneer John McDowell in the 1730s, who stripped the bark from the logs and stained them with ochre. Ochre is a natural clay earth pigment colored by iron oxide, varying in hue from pale yellow to deep orange, brown, and red.","The commercial apple orchard became inactive roughly around 2006. The apple trees were eventually removed, and the property transitioned into a private residence and beef cattle farm operated under Veranda Farm Properties. It sits adjacent to the historic McDowell burying gound.","The McDowell Cemetery, located just south of Fairfield, Virginia in Rockbridge County, Virginia, contains the grave and notable tombstones of Captain John McDowell. As the oldest burial place in the historic Borden Tract, it sits in a quiet field enclosed by a brick wall along U.S. Route 11, North Lee Highway. Captain John McDowell's gravesite is beside the family monument, and unique because it features two distinct markers standing side-by-side, which are an original 1743 primitive, hand-hewn, and crudely cut stone. Reflecting the early Ulster-Scots dialect of the region's settlers, it bears the phonetic inscription: \"HEER LYES THE BODY OF JOHN MACK DOWELL DECEMBER 18 1743\". A Memorial Monument was dedicated by McDowell descendants on August 10, 2019, a newer blue-gray granite headstone standing right next to the original. Captain John McDowell was a prominent surveyor and early leader who helped map the local wilderness. He was killed alongside seven of his militiamen on December 18, 1742, at Balcony Falls during a violent skirmish with an Iroquois raiding party. This clash marked the first major conflict between colonial settlers and Native Americans in the Shenandoah Valley, triggering a localized frontier war that was ultimately settled by the Treaty of Lancaster in 1744. He and his fallen men were buried together in this cemetery.","This photo is an 1855 McDowell Family large central monument, erected by 19th-century descendants to commemorate the virtues of \"Old Ephraim\" McDowell (John's father) and the generations of the family buried within the grounds. Dr. Ephraim McDowell (1771–1830) was an American physician and pioneer surgeon widely recognized as the \"father of abdominal surgery\" and operative gynecology.

James McDowell (October 13, 1795 – August 24, 1851) was an American politician who served as the 29th Governor of Virginia from 1843 to 1846 and later as a U.S. Congressman from 1846 until his death in 1851. A member of the Democratic Party, McDowell was known as an intellectual, an accomplished orator, and a moderate reformer during the complex antebellum period. James was born at the \"Cherry Grove\" plantation in Rockbridge County, Virginia and attended Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) and Yale College before graduating from Princeton University (then the College of New Jersey) in 1817.","The central frame building was erected by William Brown on Henry Street, Lexington, Virginia.  He sold the building in 1785 to Matthew Hanna, the \"Holy Tanner.\"  In this house, under Mr. Hanna, church services were held before the Lexington Presbyterian Church was established.  Maj. John T. Gibbs, Quartermaster at the Virginia Military Institute, 1866-1881, lived in this house. Probably during his living there, the brick portion was added. The frame portion was taken down by Washington and Lee University in 1940. The brick portion of the house was later the McKemy Grocery store. McKemy's Store, which historically operated as McKemy's Cash Grocery, was a beloved local landmark in Lexington, Virginia, located at 102 North Main Street. The store was a local staple operating through the mid-20th century.","The original home site of pioneer John McNutt (c. 1725–1781) is located along the North River, now the Maury River, in Rockbridge County, Virginia, approximately six miles east of Lexington and one mile west of Buena Vista, Virginia.

William Weaver (1819–1863) built the main home in two sections, circa 1819 and circa 1830, establishing it as Mount Pleasant. The Brady family came into possession of the property after Weaver's death in 1863. Weaver's nephew-in-law, Daniel C. E. Brady, took over management of the plantation and ironworks. His descendants have continued to live at and preserve the historic estate.\nThe Mount Pleasant estate sits along Forge Road and Buffalo Creek and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Designated as a Virginia State Park and National Historic Landmark, it was once surveyed by George Washington and owned by Thomas Jefferson. It is located in Rockbridge County, just off South I-81 and roughly 15 miles south of Lexington, Virginia.","You have always been able to drive or walk over the top of the Natural Bridge in Virginia, as it serves as a public roadway. However, the period when visitors were allowed to freely stand on the edge, look down, or be lowered from the top as a tourist attraction spanned from the late 1700s through the early 1920s. In the 1700s–1800s, early tourists routinely stood on top of the bridge to experience the thrilling heights. Famous figures like Thomas Jefferson wrote extensively about the dizzying sensation of looking down from the top. During the 19th century, the \"braver guests\" were even lowered over the edge from the top of the bridge in a hexagonal steel cage while a violinist played. In the 1920s when automobile traffic increased and the site transitioned under new corporate private ownership in 1925, pedestrian activities purely for sight-seeing from the top were restricted. Large cedar fences and protective barriers were built along the edges to prevent people from looking over or falling, shifting the primary tourist experience entirely to the trail underneath.  Route 11, South Lee Highway, still runs directly over the top of the bridge. If you drive or walk across the sidewalk of Route 11, you are technically standing on top of the Natural Bridge. However, because of safety fences and walls, you cannot see the arch or the canyon below from the top.","The Old Baptist Church on East Nelson Street in Lexington, Virginia, refers to a historic house of worship built in 1879, right behind the Lexington Presbyterian Church.

In 1876,the John H. Weiss family immigrated to the county from the Alsace-Lorraine region in northeastern France. Records from the August 28, 1919 Rockbridge County News detail the estate's lineage. Originally an expansive woodland and fruit orchard, it was significantly enhanced and developed as a residence by Mrs. Margaret L. Turner. In August 1918, Mrs. Turner sold the estate to Mr. George Chaplin. Exactly one year later, in August 1919, Chaplin sold the land to Charles K. Moser, an American diplomat serving as the U.S. Consul in Harbin, Manchuria. At one time it was owned by the Battle family. Today, Brushy Hill is primarily known as a quiet mountain retreat and home to the Brushy Hills Preserve, a 560-acre city-owned forested watershed featuring an extensive 14-mile network of public hiking, running, and mountain biking trails.","The Church was organized in 1746 by early Scotch-Irish Presbyterian immigrants, decades before Rockbridge County, Virginia was even formed in 1778. The first building of logs was erected in 1748 and was originally known as the Forks of the James Church and later Halls Meeting House, which was a hewn timber building erected in 1767. The third building of stone was erected in 1789 about 2 miles west of Lexington, Virginia and was used until 1853. Part of the structure still stands at the intersection of Route 60, West Midland Trail and Route 669, Beatty Hollow Road.

This crossing point, known as Lynch's Ferry, became a vital regional hub for shipping tobacco and commerce. By the mid-19th century, the flat-bottomed batteaux used at the ferry gave way to the James River and Kanawha Canal. This network allowed specialized passenger and cargo vessels—known as packet boats—to transit smoothly between Richmond, Virgnia and Lexington, Virginia. The historic packet boat Marshall built in 1861, was widely regarded as the finest packet boat to travel the canal. Pulled by teams of horses or mules walking along the riverbank towpaths, it transported mail, freight, and passengers overnight in relative comfort. The Marshall earned a permanent place in American history during the Civil War. On May 13, 1863, following the Battle of Chancellorsville, the boat was used to solemnly convey the body of Confederate General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson from the railroad terminal at Lynchburg up the canal to his final resting place in Lexington, Virginia. Following the expansion of local railroads and severe structural flood damage, the canal system shut down. It was not moved from Rockbridge County, Virginia, but originally beached on the James River riverbank in Lynchburg, Virginia following the closure of the canal in 1880. The abandoned boat briefly served as a unique house for an elderly local man and his sister at the turn of the 20th century. A massive flood in 1913 wrecked the makeshift living quarters, causing the wooden vessel to sink and become completely buried under sand and mud. Decades later in 1936, a section of the historic iron-reinforced hull was excavated and saved from the James River riverbed mud. Today, the metal remnants of the original vessel are preserved on public display as a historical monument at Riverside Park in Lynchburg, Virginia.  Since its initial placement in the park, the remnants of the hull have seen additional preservation efforts, including a protective covering built by the Lynchburg Historical Foundation.","Historical records from the Rockbridge Historical Society indicate that \"Dixie\" Nunn, whose actual name was Phil Nunn, lived and worked in Lexington, Virginia, during the mid-to-late 19th century and early 20th century. Phil Nunn was a well-known local African American resident. While some college students and cadets affectionately called him \"Old Dixie,\" local records indicate his close friends preferred his given name, Phil.","The Varner and Pole business originated in the late 19th century. It was tied to a multi-generational legacy of family furniture sales spearheaded by local cabinet-makers, carpenters, and undertakers like Charles Van Buren Varner (1837–1907) and his brother Andrew. By the early-to-mid 20th century, historical advertisements from the Lexington Gazette formally showcased the partnership as Varner and Pole, offering a wide range of local community services including furniture repair, custom window shades, a funeral directory, and an ambulance service.","Oak Lawn is a historic antebellum estate located in the Fancy Hill community of Rockbridge County, Virginia, built in 1849 for Nathan Moore.

The building was originally constructed in 1887 by Captain John Sheridan, a Civil War cavalry veteran and Irish immigrant. The brick structure served as a horse stable, mail carrying center, and stagecoach depot.  Built by John Sheridan as a stable and a stagecoach line connecting Lexington, Virginia to Staunton, Virginia, and Hot Springs, Virginia. In 1919 it was old to the Rockbridge Steam Laundry Corporation after the rise of the automobile caused the livery business to decline. The company converted the massive carriage doors into windows and operated the community laundry facility here for 51 years In 1973 it was transformed into the \"Old Main Street Indoor Mall,\" a collective of small shops. In 1994 it was purchased by the Benincasa family, who conducted massive interior renovations while preserving the historic brick exterior, opening it as the Sheridan Livery Inn \u0026 Restaurant. In 2022 it was acquired by the neighboring boutique hotel The Georges. Following a high-end, luxury remodel, it now houses 12 premium guest rooms featuring 12-foot ceilings, canopy beds, and upscale event space.","Old Providence Church is located at 1005 Spottswood Road in Steeles Tavern, Virginia. As early as 1748, a log meeting house stood there. Apparently a more conservative Old Side group continued to hold services in the Spottswood area and in 1762 a group calling itself Old Providence petitioned the more conservative Associate Presbytery in Pennsylvania asking for pastoral supplies. For a number of years the two groups of conservative Presbyterians, one called Associate Reformed Presbyterian and one called Reformed, worshipped here. In 1793 a stone church, which is still standing was built. In 1859 it was succeeded by a brick church, which gave way to the present building in 1918. In the graveyard rest ancestors of Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the reaper, and fourteen Revolutionary soldiers.","Presbyterian settlers of the Upper Buffalo Valley in Rockbridge County, Virginia, founded a congregation in 1758 and constructed a log fort that was also used as a place of worship. A stone church replaced it after the Revolutionary War. The Rev. William Graham, founder and president of Liberty Hall Academy (present day Washington and Lee University), served as Oxford's pastor from 1788 to 1795. In 1868, local citizens, many of them Confederate veterans, constructed the present brick church in the Greek Revival style on part of the old stone church's foundation.","The Frank Padget Monument is a historic granite obelisk located in Centennial Park, at the intersection of Route 684, Blue Ridge Road and McCulloch Street in the town of Glasgow, Virginia, Rockbridge County. Erected in 1854, it is one of the earliest monuments in Virginia dedicated to honoring an African American slave. It stands as a testament to extraordinary courage, leadership, and self-sacrifice.","On January 21, 1854, heavy rains caused the James River to flood aggressively. A canal boat named the Clinton snapped its towrope and washed over the Mountain Dam, stranding its passengers in the treacherous rapids of Balcony Falls. Frank Padget, an enslaved man and highly skilled river boatman, stepped forward to lead a rescue team. Alongside five white volunteers, Padget navigated the raging waters and successfully saved dozens of stranded passengers. While making a final, perilous attempt to rescue the very last remaining passenger, Padget's craft crashed into a rock and shattered. Caught in the overwhelming current, Padget tragically drowned.","Deeply moved by Padget's ultimate sacrifice, an eyewitness to the tragedy, Captain Edward Echols, commissioned and paid for the monument in l854. The obelisk was initially erected next to Lock 16 of the Blue Ridge Canal along the James River. Over time, this location became remote, overgrown, and largely inaccessible to the public. In 1997, through community efforts, the monument was moved to its current location in Centennial Park near the Glasgow Town Hall, where it is preserved and accompanied by state historical markers.","The Buena Vista, Virginia Glen Maury Paxton home was built between 1829 and 1835 by the elder Elisha Paxton.

By the 1990s, college students called it the \"Münster House\". The property was purchased by new owners in 2018. It now operates as a private family getaway and a popular historic vacation rental for visitors traveling to Lexington, VMI, and Washington \u0026 Lee.","This Petty family home may be located along Route 633, Rockbridge Alum Springs Road and Bratton's Run in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Local historical societies and family archives note that this property belonged to descendants of the Agnor, Petty, and Patterson families. The home sat abandoned for several decades starting in the mid-1980s before ultimately burning down. According to U.S. Census records from 1930, 1935, and 1940, James Clifton Petty and his family resided in the Kerrs Creek Magisterial District of Rockbridge County, specifically along what was then documented as County Road 633. He is recorded in county land transactions during the mid-20th century. For instance, archived issues of the Rockbridge County News from May 1946 note a property transfer where a J.C.

Because town space was tight, trains turned around before the point and backed into the station.","The Valley Railroad Company (later the B\u0026O) built a line stretching south from Staunton, terminating in Lexington in 1883.","The two lines joined up northeast of the city and shared a single station on a site just west of downtown.","The Lexington Train Station was built in 1883. The historic station originally sat where Washington and Lee University's Wilson Hall is today. To save the depot from demolition, it was moved across the street in 2004. It was restored and made the O D K Headquarters.","Higgins and Irvine was a prominent retail lumber, planing mill, and builder's supply company that operated in Lexington, Virginia during the mid-20th century. The company served the Rockbridge County region as a primary supplier of retail lumber, general building materials, and millwork.","Jordan's Point Park is a scenic public park and registered historic district located at Stono Lane in East Lexington, Virginia, situated along the banks of the Maury River. Historically functioning as Lexington's bustling industrial and transportation hub during the 1800s, the site now serves as a peaceful community park combining outdoor recreation with deep local history.","In the 1950s, a Baltimore and Ohio (B\u0026O) Railroad spur ran directly through the back campus of Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, passing near the current Woods Creek area. The trains that serviced the town during that era were typically steam or early diesel locomotives hauling freight and coal. The tracks through the back campus of W\u0026L ultimately ceased operations, and the rails were completely removed after the B\u0026O/C\u0026O (Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio) lines were retired and the trestle over the Maury River was destroyed by flooding from Hurricane Camille in 1969. Today, parts of the old railbed are preserved as part of the W\u0026L Back Campus trail system and The Chessie Trail which runs to Buena Vista, Virginia.","The C\u0026O Freight Yard and East Lexington infrastructure were historically located at Jordan's Point, along the north bank of the Maury River. This historic terminal and junction sat just east of Route 11 North on the Old Buena Vista Road, roughly where the Chessie Nature Trail begins today.","The railroad line wound into Lexington from Buena Vista along the banks of the Maury River. It established its yard and freight transfers in the East Lexington area at Jordan's Point before crossing a long curved trestle over the river to climb toward the downtown depot.","According to historical documentation, the Chesapeake \u0026 Ohio (C\u0026O) and the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio (B\u0026O) railroads met and shared trackage roughly half a mile east of Route 11 North, along the Old Buena Vista Road.","This freight layout and its riverside tracks were entirely wiped out in August 1969 by Hurricane Camille, which washed away the crucial connecting bridges and railroad trestles. The C\u0026O subsequently abandoned the route rather than rebuilding it.","If you visit the site today, you will find no active tracks. The abandoned C\u0026O right of way was successfully converted into the Chessie Nature Trail, and the ancient stone piers that once held the C\u0026O railroad bridge can still be seen standing in the water near Jordan's Point Park.","\"Red Hill\" is a historic farm and estate located at 452 West Midland Trail in Rockbridge County, Virginia . The property has a long standing association with the Moore family, historically as a family residence, built circa 1871.","The Barclay Tavern, is known as one of the oldest buildings in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The circa 1790 two story,  brick dwelling is attributed to early land owner Clay Barclay and served as a tavern. The Red Mill was a grist mill, which is located across the road from the dwelling.  It was built circa 1880 and is located on Cedar Creek on the former Valley Road before it was re-routed in the mid 1930s to go through the Natural Bridge resort. This timber framed mill served local farmers by grinding grain using water power from Cedar Creek. An associated timber frame barn built around 1900 still sits nearby.","Reid's Dam is a historic canal ruin located along the Maury River in Rockbridge County, Virginia, situated roughly two miles southeast of the Lexington entrance of the Chessie Nature Trail. Built in the 1850s, Reid's Dam and its accompanying lock were part of the North River Navigation Company flatwater canal system, which was later bought by the James River and Kanawha Canal Company. After the canal went out of business due to the railroads, the site was repurposed to generate hydroelectric power until it was decommissioned and the dam structure was largely removed in 1930.","The home known historically as the Dan Reilly House in Lexington, Virginia, was the residence of Daniel McGuire Reilly, a well known local watchmaker, jeweler, silversmith and Confederate veteran. Dan Reilly was a prominent figure in late 19th and early 20th century Lexington. He lived there until his passing in December 1916 and was famously noted in town lore for never missing a Confederate veteran reunion. The home is recognized in regional architectural history and local columns tracking the evolution of downtown Lexington's historic district.  The home sits at a corner on Jefferson Street.","The original Grace Episcopal Church building, a smaller church structure was completely torn down in 1881 so that the current, much larger stone Gothic Revival sanctuary could be built on the exact same footprint. In 1903 to honor the former general's extensive service to the congregation and local universities, the church was renamed R.E. Lee Memorial Episcopal Church. In 2017, following years of internal dialogue regarding the legacy of Confederate memorialization, which intensified after national protests, the church vestry voted 7–5 on September 18, 2017, to officially drop the memorial name.  It became Grace Episcopal Church again.","The R. E. Lee memorial episcopal church rectory is located at 107 Lee Avenue in Lexington, Virginia. The home was built across a three-year span, 1821-1824 for Charles P. Dorman, a prominent Lexington attorney. The home was purchased by the church in 1854 to serve as its official parsonage/rectory. The rectory's most famous historical occupant was the Reverend William Nelson Pendleton. Pendleton, a West Point graduate, served as Robert E. Lee's Chief of Artillery during the Civil War before returning to Lexington to lead the parish for three decades. During his tenure, Robert E. Lee served closely alongside him on the church vestry. The building continuously served the parish for nearly 150 years until the late 20th century. Today, the preserved structure remains standing and is occupied as a private family residence.","The historical Riverside estate in Rockbridge County, Virginia, was built and developed on land originally settled by members of the Shields family. John Shields built the original family home here in 1771 near the scenic confluence of the South River and the Maury River, which was formerly the North River. Over the generations, the family's expansive riverside property grew into a distinct, active local village known as Riverside. Following the Civil War, the estate was managed as a large agricultural farm by Colonel John Shields.  He was a prominent veteran newspaper editor associated with regional publications like the Staunton Spectator and the Buena Vista Advocate. During the late 19th century industrial boom, investment firms purchased parts of the Shields estate at Riverside to expand development up the South River.","The Robert E. Lee Hotel in Lexington, Virginia, officially changed its name to The Gin Hotel, an Ascend Hotel Collection member. The hotel is located at 30 South Main Street, Lexington, Virginia.  Built in 1926, this historic six story brick building remains the tallest building in downtown Lexington. After serving as an apartment complex for several decades, the building underwent a massive renovation to restore its original 1920s grand hotel charm. It features beautifully preserved elements, including its original 1926 Otis elevator car upgraded with modern technology.","Rock Castle Farm, which was historically known simply as Rock Castle, is a historic home and estate located on the banks of West Whistle Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia, on the south side of Route 60, West Midland Trail. It is located across the road, a little futher west of the the site of the historic Old Monmouth Presbyterian Church and Old Monmouth Cemetery. It was built in the late 18th or early 19th century. The property was the home and farm of Dr. Samuel LeGrand Campbell (1765–1840) and his wife, Sally Alexander. Dr. Campbell was a prominent local physician, a Presbyterian elder, and served as the President of Washington College, now Washington and Lee University, from 1798 to 1802. He passed away at Rock Castle in April 1840 and is buried across the creek at Old Monmouth.","Located right in downtown Lexington, Virginia on South Randolph Street, The Castle is one of the city's oldest standing structures. Built around 1778, this rough-cut fieldstone and limestone building originally featured three separate rooms on each floor, each with its own exterior entrance. It historically served as a complex for lawyers' offices and housing for local students. It was left to the Rockbridge Historical Society in 1945 to serve as a meeting space and a repository for local historical materials.","The historic home of Dr. Robert Cooke is a picturesque stone house located along East Whistle Creek, on the north side of Route 60, West Midland Trail, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. The property is described as a historic, highly attractive stone residence situated just below the historic old Brown's Woolen Factory site, right across the road from the creek. Dr. Robert Cooke (1874–1952) was a highly respected Public Health Officer for Lexington and Rockbridge County, serving the area for decades until his retirement in 1947. The \"Will Brown House and Woolen Factory\" refers to a prominent 19th-century industrial site located on Whistle Creek, just a few miles west of Lexington, Virginia. It was a major regional textile processor that spun raw local wool into commercial goods, including blankets, yarns, flannels, and heavy \"cassimere\" cloths.","The plate titled \"Rockbridge Alum Spring, Rockbridge County, Va.\" is one of the most famous panoramic lithographs from German artist Edward Beyer's landmark 1858 masterpiece, Album of Virginia; or, Illustration of the Old Dominion. Beyer spent three years traveling the state during the 1850s, drawing sketches of its landscape, before returning to Germany to print the album using advanced European lithographic technology. His piece on the Rockbridge Alum Springs provides a detailed, vibrant window into the peak era of Virginia's antebellum spa culture.","Rockbridge Alum Springs is a historic property located in western Rockbridge County, Virginia, near Goshen, that evolved from a premier 19th century mineral spring resort into a massive, modern youth camp operated by Young Life. Developed heavily in the 1850s, it was one of Virginia's most prestigious and exclusive antebellum spa complexes, ranking second in popularity only to White Sulphur Springs. The resort was famous for its rare, highly astringent aluminum-sulfate mineral waters, believed to cure chronic skin diseases, digestive ailments, and scrofula. The original complex featured a sprawling landscape centered around a columned pavilion, topped by a statue of Hygeia, the Greek goddess of health, built directly over the mineral spring. Guests stayed in grand brick hotels or long, uniform rows of cottages like \"Baltimore Row\".","The Rockbridge Baths Hotel and Springs was a historic antebellum spa complex located in the unincorporated community of Rockbridge Baths, Virginia, along the Maury River midway between Lexington and Goshen. While the resort was highly popular in the 19th century, the historic hotel burned to the ground in 1926 and was never rebuilt. The resort was named for its natural springs, which maintained a constant temperature of 72 degrees and were rich in iron, magnesium, and carbonic acid gas. Visitors flocked to the area under the belief that the waters cured digestive and other physical ailments. Built in 1857, the hotel accommodated between 150 to 200 guests. In its peak era, it served as a premier summer retreat for prominent figures, including General Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary Custis Lee. Guests recorded during its heyday are preserved in the Rockbridge Baths Hotel Ledger at Washington and Lee University. Following a decline in tourism at the turn of the century, the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) purchased the property in 1921 to serve as a summer school campus. The devastating fire in 1926 ended these operations. While the hotel is gone, the spring, remnants of the original swimming pool, part of the dance hall, and a few cottages still remain in the area today.","The early history of the Rockbridge Fair in Lexington, Virginia, is rooted in the region's deep agricultural heritage, dating back to organized community gatherings in the 19th and mid 20th centuries. Long before a recurring county fair had a permanent home, 19th century farmers in Rockbridge County gathered for local stock shows and crop exhibitions. These early meetings allowed local farmers to exchange agricultural methods, showcase livestock, and foster community ties. By the 1940s, the fair took on a highly structured format when the Lexington Kiwanis Club stepped in as its primary sponsor. Historical records from The Rockbridge County News show that during World War II, the fair adapted to support the nation. For example, the 1942 fair featured a prominent War Savings Bonds and Stamps booth alongside its commercial and agricultural exhibits. The event served as a major commercial hub where local auto dealers, like Woody Chevrolet Sales and merchants, displayed their new fall inventories to crowds traveling into Lexington.  In the decades following World War II, the fair expanded its traditional agricultural footprint to incorporate classic midways, carnival rides, and domestic arts competitions like quilting and jam-making. In 1976, the community expanded its festival traditions. While the agricultural fair elements eventually consolidated into the regional expo format, a separate offshoot called the Rockbridge Community Festival was established in downtown Lexington to celebrate local arts, crafts, and non-profit charities. The agricultural fair found its modern, permanent home just north of Lexington at the Virginia Horse Center, maintaining its historical focus on 4-H youth livestock showcases, tractor pulls, and regional farming heritage.","The Rockbridge National Bank historically operated at 215 South Main Street in Lexington, Virginia.","Rose Hill is a historic Federal-style estate built in 1824 by Elisha Grigsby and his wife, Elizabeth Hawkins Porter Grigsby, located in Rockbridge County, Virginia. It is one of the \"Seven Hills homes of Rockbridge.\" Elisha Grigsby (1774–1847) was the sixth child of \"Soldier John\" Grigsby, a prominent early settler of the region. He built Rose Hill in 1824. The estate adjoins Fruit Hill, the original homestead of Soldier John Grigsby. The other six \"Hill\" houses tied to the interconnected Grigsby, Welch, and Greenlee families include Cherry Hill, Fruit Hill, Fancy Hill, Hickory Hill, Clover Hill, and Liberty Hill."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMargaret and Sarah are the girls of Helen Deaver Beckwith.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePhoto of Louise at 2 years and 10 months, by Miley.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMrs. Brush is leaning over another woman, who is working with framed items.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePhoto by Miley, Lexington, VA.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eLula as a baby photographed by Mrs. N.

Much of this collection was found over decades from various locations on campus and housed in the Treasurer's Office.","The Business Records series includes primarily documents related to the financial history of the university. They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E. Lee sometime include his signature and notes.","The Administration series includes correspondence sent to or written by trustees, presidents, or other officers. Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C. Lee), Cyrus McCormick (correspondent), athletics, correspondence about the Chapel controversy, correspondence about the library, and an oath book signed by both trustees and Librarian Annie White. There is also correspondence related to and with fundraising and fundraising agents including R. D. Lilley, George Peabody, Grover Cleveland, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Villard co-founded the NAACP in 1909.","The Faculty series includes letters of recommendation, letters about student absences and students requesting leave and/or accommodation for tuition, commencement invitations, the College Hotel and student lodging, papers acted upon by the faculty, and papers related to the American Association of University Professors. The letters from fathers of students or students themselves regarding requesting leave from school usually include the reason why which primarily relates to finances or the student's health. Some of the correspondence addressed to the faculty are related to student misconduct. Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley.","The Students series includes documents related to student conduct, student petitions, recruitment, and admissions. Of particular note are the documents from 1858 regarding an incident in which students were dismissed from school for drinking and the eventual burning in effigy of the two professors who caught and dismissed them.","The General series includes correspondence about catalog requests, the Alumni Association, and subject files.","The Printed Material series includes broadsides, circulars, pamphlets, etc. that were printed by our about the university including events and programs.","Researchers should be aware that there might be overlap in subject matter and correspondents among the series. References to fundraising, for example, can be found across series.","Researchers should note that this collection was reviewed and organized chronologically as Miscellaneous Papers and Miscellaneous Bills, Receipts, and Vouchers by Dr. William Webb Pusey in 1982. An updated review and the resulting reprocessing was undertaken to create what is expected to be a more cohesive organization and description in effort to increase both the discoverability and accessibility of the contents. Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E. Lee. Researchers are encouraged to consult these files as they might find useful information contained therein.","Documents within this collection were heavily consulted by Ollinger Crenshaw in researching his book General Lee's College.","Book purchases","Documents related to fundraising and the construction of the Liberty Hall Academy building in Lexington.","Book purchases and list of books received from John Rodgers donation","Of particular note is a payroll of \"hands employed at Washington College buildings\" who are described as \"white employees\" on the reverse (1866).","Includes receipt for paying Ellick his 1/2 annual allotment for board and clothing","Includes paid invoice for hiring of Ellick","Includes payments made to Ellick","Includes continued hiring of Ellick, an account for Dr. Paine to see Jerry (enslaved) at W.

Much of this collection was found over decades from various locations on campus and housed in the Treasurer's Office.","The Business Records series includes primarily documents related to the financial history of the university. They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E. Lee sometime include his signature and notes.","The Administration series includes correspondence sent to or written by trustees, presidents, or other officers. Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C. Lee), Cyrus McCormick (correspondent), athletics, correspondence about the Chapel controversy, correspondence about the library, and an oath book signed by both trustees and Librarian Annie White. There is also correspondence related to and with fundraising and fundraising agents including R. D. Lilley, George Peabody, Grover Cleveland, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Villard co-founded the NAACP in 1909.","The Faculty series includes letters of recommendation, letters about student absences and students requesting leave and/or accommodation for tuition, commencement invitations, the College Hotel and student lodging, papers acted upon by the faculty, and papers related to the American Association of University Professors. The letters from fathers of students or students themselves regarding requesting leave from school usually include the reason why which primarily relates to finances or the student's health. Some of the correspondence addressed to the faculty are related to student misconduct. Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley.","The Students series includes documents related to student conduct, student petitions, recruitment, and admissions. Of particular note are the documents from 1858 regarding an incident in which students were dismissed from school for drinking and the eventual burning in effigy of the two professors who caught and dismissed them.","The General series includes correspondence about catalog requests, the Alumni Association, and subject files.","The Printed Material series includes broadsides, circulars, pamphlets, etc. that were printed by our about the university including events and programs.","Researchers should be aware that there might be overlap in subject matter and correspondents among the series. References to fundraising, for example, can be found across series.","Researchers should note that this collection was reviewed and organized chronologically as Miscellaneous Papers and Miscellaneous Bills, Receipts, and Vouchers by Dr. William Webb Pusey in 1982. An updated review and the resulting reprocessing was undertaken to create what is expected to be a more cohesive organization and description in effort to increase both the discoverability and accessibility of the contents. Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E. Lee. Researchers are encouraged to consult these files as they might find useful information contained therein.","Documents within this collection were heavily consulted by Ollinger Crenshaw in researching his book General Lee's College.","Book purchases","Documents related to fundraising and the construction of the Liberty Hall Academy building in Lexington.","Book purchases and list of books received from John Rodgers donation","Of particular note is a payroll of \"hands employed at Washington College buildings\" who are described as \"white employees\" on the reverse (1866).","Includes receipt for paying Ellick his 1/2 annual allotment for board and clothing","Includes paid invoice for hiring of Ellick","Includes payments made to Ellick","Includes continued hiring of Ellick, an account for Dr. Paine to see Jerry (enslaved) at W.

Much of this collection was found over decades from various locations on campus and housed in the Treasurer's Office.","The Business Records series includes primarily documents related to the financial history of the university. They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E. Lee sometime include his signature and notes.","The Administration series includes correspondence sent to or written by trustees, presidents, or other officers. Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C. Lee), Cyrus McCormick (correspondent), athletics, correspondence about the Chapel controversy, correspondence about the library, and an oath book signed by both trustees and Librarian Annie White. There is also correspondence related to and with fundraising and fundraising agents including R. D. Lilley, George Peabody, Grover Cleveland, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Villard co-founded the NAACP in 1909.","The Faculty series includes letters of recommendation, letters about student absences and students requesting leave and/or accommodation for tuition, commencement invitations, the College Hotel and student lodging, papers acted upon by the faculty, and papers related to the American Association of University Professors. The letters from fathers of students or students themselves regarding requesting leave from school usually include the reason why which primarily relates to finances or the student's health. Some of the correspondence addressed to the faculty are related to student misconduct. Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley.","The Students series includes documents related to student conduct, student petitions, recruitment, and admissions. Of particular note are the documents from 1858 regarding an incident in which students were dismissed from school for drinking and the eventual burning in effigy of the two professors who caught and dismissed them.","The General series includes correspondence about catalog requests, the Alumni Association, and subject files.","The Printed Material series includes broadsides, circulars, pamphlets, etc. that were printed by our about the university including events and programs.","Researchers should be aware that there might be overlap in subject matter and correspondents among the series. References to fundraising, for example, can be found across series.","Researchers should note that this collection was reviewed and organized chronologically as Miscellaneous Papers and Miscellaneous Bills, Receipts, and Vouchers by Dr. William Webb Pusey in 1982. An updated review and the resulting reprocessing was undertaken to create what is expected to be a more cohesive organization and description in effort to increase both the discoverability and accessibility of the contents. Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E. Lee. Researchers are encouraged to consult these files as they might find useful information contained therein.","Documents within this collection were heavily consulted by Ollinger Crenshaw in researching his book General Lee's College.","Book purchases","Documents related to fundraising and the construction of the Liberty Hall Academy building in Lexington.","Book purchases and list of books received from John Rodgers donation","Of particular note is a payroll of \"hands employed at Washington College buildings\" who are described as \"white employees\" on the reverse (1866).","Includes receipt for paying Ellick his 1/2 annual allotment for board and clothing","Includes paid invoice for hiring of Ellick","Includes payments made to Ellick","Includes continued hiring of Ellick, an account for Dr. Paine to see Jerry (enslaved) at W.

Much of this collection was found over decades from various locations on campus and housed in the Treasurer's Office.","The Business Records series includes primarily documents related to the financial history of the university. They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E. Lee sometime include his signature and notes.","The Administration series includes correspondence sent to or written by trustees, presidents, or other officers. Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C. Lee), Cyrus McCormick (correspondent), athletics, correspondence about the Chapel controversy, correspondence about the library, and an oath book signed by both trustees and Librarian Annie White. There is also correspondence related to and with fundraising and fundraising agents including R. D. Lilley, George Peabody, Grover Cleveland, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Villard co-founded the NAACP in 1909.","The Faculty series includes letters of recommendation, letters about student absences and students requesting leave and/or accommodation for tuition, commencement invitations, the College Hotel and student lodging, papers acted upon by the faculty, and papers related to the American Association of University Professors. The letters from fathers of students or students themselves regarding requesting leave from school usually include the reason why which primarily relates to finances or the student's health. Some of the correspondence addressed to the faculty are related to student misconduct. Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley.","The Students series includes documents related to student conduct, student petitions, recruitment, and admissions. Of particular note are the documents from 1858 regarding an incident in which students were dismissed from school for drinking and the eventual burning in effigy of the two professors who caught and dismissed them.","The General series includes correspondence about catalog requests, the Alumni Association, and subject files.","The Printed Material series includes broadsides, circulars, pamphlets, etc. that were printed by our about the university including events and programs.","Researchers should be aware that there might be overlap in subject matter and correspondents among the series. References to fundraising, for example, can be found across series.","Researchers should note that this collection was reviewed and organized chronologically as Miscellaneous Papers and Miscellaneous Bills, Receipts, and Vouchers by Dr. William Webb Pusey in 1982. An updated review and the resulting reprocessing was undertaken to create what is expected to be a more cohesive organization and description in effort to increase both the discoverability and accessibility of the contents. Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E. Lee. Researchers are encouraged to consult these files as they might find useful information contained therein.","Documents within this collection were heavily consulted by Ollinger Crenshaw in researching his book General Lee's College.","Book purchases","Documents related to fundraising and the construction of the Liberty Hall Academy building in Lexington.","Book purchases and list of books received from John Rodgers donation","Of particular note is a payroll of \"hands employed at Washington College buildings\" who are described as \"white employees\" on the reverse (1866).","Includes receipt for paying Ellick his 1/2 annual allotment for board and clothing","Includes paid invoice for hiring of Ellick","Includes payments made to Ellick","Includes continued hiring of Ellick, an account for Dr. Paine to see Jerry (enslaved) at W.

Much of this collection was found over decades from various locations on campus and housed in the Treasurer's Office.","The Business Records series includes primarily documents related to the financial history of the university. They include related correspondence, invoices, and receipts. The invoices and receipts document expenditures such as purchases of wood as a heating source, purchases of supplies to support building repair and/or construction, such as the Chapel and Lee House, as well as fees for labor, purchases of books for the library, purchases of supplies and equipment for teaching,  purchase of Confederate bonds, salaries and wages, payments for newspaper subscriptions, advertisements, printing, and fire insurance. Other subjects include Robinson and Santini medals, the John Robinson monument (1855), the purchase of lab supplies and instruments, property rentals, insurance, investments, endowments, scholarships, tuition, promissory notes, bonds, and the purchase of furniture. There are also documents related to enslaved persons. One document is specific to the John Robinson estate. Others refer to the sale or hiring out of enslaved individuals. It is noted within the folder description if the documents lists the names of these individuals. At least one of the earliest documents in this series mentions the Timber Ridge location and Fort Randolph. The records created during the presidency of Robert E. Lee sometime include his signature and notes.","The Administration series includes correspondence sent to or written by trustees, presidents, or other officers. Subjects include the purchasing of mineral specimens (G. W. C. Lee), Cyrus McCormick (correspondent), athletics, correspondence about the Chapel controversy, correspondence about the library, and an oath book signed by both trustees and Librarian Annie White. There is also correspondence related to and with fundraising and fundraising agents including R. D. Lilley, George Peabody, Grover Cleveland, and Oswald Garrison Villard. Villard co-founded the NAACP in 1909.","The Faculty series includes letters of recommendation, letters about student absences and students requesting leave and/or accommodation for tuition, commencement invitations, the College Hotel and student lodging, papers acted upon by the faculty, and papers related to the American Association of University Professors. The letters from fathers of students or students themselves regarding requesting leave from school usually include the reason why which primarily relates to finances or the student's health. Some of the correspondence addressed to the faculty are related to student misconduct. Of particular note is a May 1849 document signed by faculty and officers of both Washington College and the Virginia Military Institute speaking about against the Lexington Bowling Alley.","The Students series includes documents related to student conduct, student petitions, recruitment, and admissions. Of particular note are the documents from 1858 regarding an incident in which students were dismissed from school for drinking and the eventual burning in effigy of the two professors who caught and dismissed them.","The General series includes correspondence about catalog requests, the Alumni Association, and subject files.","The Printed Material series includes broadsides, circulars, pamphlets, etc. that were printed by our about the university including events and programs.","Researchers should be aware that there might be overlap in subject matter and correspondents among the series. References to fundraising, for example, can be found across series.","Researchers should note that this collection was reviewed and organized chronologically as Miscellaneous Papers and Miscellaneous Bills, Receipts, and Vouchers by Dr. William Webb Pusey in 1982. An updated review and the resulting reprocessing was undertaken to create what is expected to be a more cohesive organization and description in effort to increase both the discoverability and accessibility of the contents. Some of Dr. Pusey's decisions regarding arrangement have been kept in the interest of time and the challenge of trying to determine where the documents were originally pulled from. For example, he combined letters of tribute about Professor J. J. White that were sent to Washington and Lee President G. W. C. Lee along with other tributes to White into one folder. That folder remains. He also combined documentation associated with and/or created by the work of Robert D. Lilley in his capacity as a fundraising agent for the university. He combined letters sent to faculty and administrators asking for university catalogs and/or circulars. While these requests have been kept together and arranged chronologically, researchers should be aware that while some letters only ask for a catalog, others include much more information about the letter writer, such as their current financial situation, their educational background, their service in the American Civil War, and their desire to attend or have their son attend the university because of President Robert E. Lee.

Lee which he manually recorded in this memo book which he titled \"Conversations with Gen. R. E. Lee\". Soon after each conversation, Allan described retreating to his office to record the highlights. In 1886, former Washington College Clerk of faculty and Librarian, Edward Clifford \"E.C.\" Gordon shared with Allan, by mail, a similar manuscript reminiscence of a discussion he had with Lee in 1868 on the Sharpsburg/Antietam campaign, specifically the story of Lee's \"Lost Dispatch\". Allan transcribed Gordon's reminiscence into his memo book – with a background note. (Gordon's original reminiscence was then purportedly returned to him.) The memo book is accompanied by an informative 1886 letter from Gordon to Allan on the Lee conversations. There are also two letters regarding the gift of the memoranda book to Washington and Lee University in 1946 by Mrs. Louisa P. Allan, William Allan's daughter – in – law. Subjects of the conversations include Lee's objectives and strategy at different points during the American Civil War; Lee's decision to resign from the United States Army on April 20, 1861 including his conversations with U.S. Army General Winfield Scott; and commentary, at times critical, of Federal and Confederate generals and leaders including George McClellan, D.H. Hill, James Longstreet, Jefferson Davis, Richard Ewell, Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson, Joseph Johnston, J.E.B. Stuart, and John-Fitz Porter. Civil War battles mentioned or discussed include Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gaines Mill and the Seven Days Battles, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the fall of the defenses at Petersburg, Va.","Robert E. Lee's copy of D.H. Hill's post Civil War magazine \"The Land We Love,\" which published an article pertaining to the story of Lee's \"Lost Dispatch\" - an order by General Robert E. Lee directing movements of his Army of Northern Virginia during the Maryland Campaign of 1862. It was lost by an unidentified Confederate courier and found by Union soldiers and subsequently forwarded to Union General George B. McClellan. The contents of the dispatch influenced the battles of South Mountain and Antietam.","Letter from E.C.(Edward Clifford)Gordon, former Washington College Clerk of Faculty, to Col.

Lee on February 16, 1868. A main theme of the letter is the content from the memo book regarding the story of Lee's \"Lost Dispatch\" during his Maryland Campaign of 1862. \nThe second letter  accompanied the memo book when it was given by Louisa P. Allan, Col. William Allan's daughter - in - law,  to Washington and Lee University President Francis Pendleton Gaines in 1946.","Reminiscences of Robert E.

Now that the war is ended, we should exhibit no sullen and dissatisfied spirit, but should encourage harmony and conciliation. We have to live under the same government, and it is the part of wisdom and duty, to seek to restore confidence, and cultivate kindly relations.

A particular statement of the extent of preparation in the languages \u0026 mathematics, necessary for entering in the lowest class, \u0026 of the progress required for each succeeding year will be thankfully received.\nWhat is the population of Lexington; To what extent, if any has the Town been destroyed; Is it likely to maintain its former reputation for healthfulness, \u0026 for high moral \u0026 religious tone?\nWith an apology for the length of this communication, \u0026 the expression of a desire that any response you may be pleased to make, shall accord with your own convenience and leisure.

Subjects of the conversations include Lee's objectives and strategy at different points during the American Civil War; Lee's decision to resign from the United States Army on April 20, 1861 including his conversations with U.S. Army General Winfield Scott; and commentary, at times critical, of Federal and Confederate generals and leaders including George McClellan, D.H. Hill, James Longstreet, Jefferson Davis, Richard Ewell, Thomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson, Joseph Johnston, J.E.B. Stuart, and John-Fitz Porter. Civil War battles mentioned or discussed include Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gaines Mill and the Seven Days Battles, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the fall of the defenses at Petersburg, Va.","Robert E. Lee's copy of D.H. Hill's post Civil War magazine \"The Land We Love,\" which published an article pertaining to the story of Lee's \"Lost Dispatch\" - an order by General Robert E. Lee directing movements of his Army of Northern Virginia during the Maryland Campaign of 1862. It was lost by an unidentified Confederate courier and found by Union soldiers and subsequently forwarded to Union General George B. McClellan. The contents of the dispatch influenced the battles of South Mountain and Antietam.","Letter from E.C.(Edward Clifford)Gordon, former Washington College Clerk of Faculty, to Col. William Allan of th eMcDonough institute in Baltimore, Md. and former mathematics professor at Washington College between 1866 and 1873 regarding an accompanying memo book in which Gordon documented a long conversation he had with Robert E. Lee on February 16, 1868. A main theme of the letter is the content from the memo book regarding the story of Lee's \"Lost Dispatch\" during his Maryland Campaign of 1862. \nThe second letter  accompanied the memo book when it was given by Louisa P. Allan, Col. William Allan's daughter - in - law,  to Washington and Lee University President Francis Pendleton Gaines in 1946.","Reminiscences of Robert E.
