Samuel McDowell Reid, his son, a militia colonel and trustee of Washington College, expanded the home to two stories in the mid-19th century.","This historic home built by John H. Myers in Lexington, Virginia, is The Gables, a distinctive Gothic Revival cottage located on South Jefferson Street. John H. Myers served as the treasurer of Washington and Lee University.","The Natural Bridge of Virginia is a spectacular 215-foot tall limestone gorge carved by Cedar Creek. 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. The church was designed by architect James Crawford Neilson. The building was later demolished in 1919 and some of the material was used to build the New Theater on West Nelson Street, Lexington, Virginia.  The New Theater burned and now the State Theater is located there.","Neriah Baptist Church is a historic congregation located just outside of East Lexington in nearby Buena Vista, Virginia. Founded over 200 years ago, this historic church serves the local Rockbridge County community. The address is  1891 Old Buena Vista Rd, Buena Vista, Virginia.","The \"Old Weiss family place\" on the east slope of Brushy Hill known as \"New Alsace,\" was a prominent, historical 50 acre property in Lexington, Virginia, built around 1880. 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. The home is situated along Route 11, North Lee Highway.","The historic Green Valley farmhouse was built in 1815, along the Harrisonburg-Warm Springs Turnpike. The property began as a frontier cabin built by a settler named Mr. McCallop. It was purchased by James Frazer, who significantly expanded the log and weatherboard building to operate it as a prominent tavern and stagecoach stop. 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. This house was the family's principal plantation country home and the birthplace of General Elisha Paxton.","The Gen. Elisha Paxton home in Lexington, Virginia is located at 503 South Main Street, on the west side of the block between Jordan Street and Edmondson Avenue. Some of the later owners were John Brockenbrough, Col. Thomas Semmes, Charles Figgat, Mrs. Elizabeth Preston Allan, and Mrs. Wallace Ruff (Helen).","The Paxton House, historically nicknamed the \"Münster House\", is a three-story Victorian home located at the southeast corner of West Nelson Street and Lee Avenue in Lexington, Virginia. The home was built in 1895 by William McDowell.  For much of its early life, it served as the prominent family home for the Paxton family, whose descendants still reside in the local area. In the late 20th century, the house was used as housing for Washington \u0026 Lee University fraternities, including Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike). 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. Petty sold 7.5 acres of land on Brattons Run, near Goshen and Kerrs Creek, to David S. Day. ","James Clifton Petty, lived in the area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born around 1881 in Virginia to John Henry Petty and Mary Jane Petty. He married Zola Lucille Agnor, born about 1885. The couple raised a large family in the area, including children named Eugene Petty, George Petty, Guy Petty, Herman Petty, Ruth Petty, Harold Petty, and Russell Petty.

In this photo it shows the edge of the McKemy store and a frame house on the west side of North Main Street, north of Henry Street, which were both were demolished.","The Pines, the Gadsden home in Lexington, Virginia, is located at 111 Lee Avenue. The property dates back to 1819, when it was built by and for Benjamin Darst. Darst was a highly prominent local craftsman in the Rockbridge County building trades. In the 1880s, the home transitioned to General William Nelson Pendleton. He was a close colleague of Robert E. Lee and the rector of the local Grace Episcopal Church. He purchased The Pines as his retirement estate. The home's association with the Gadsden family came via General Pendleton's daughter, Annelletta \"Lella\" Pendleton, who married E. M. E. Gadsden. Their descendants, including the \"Gadsden twins\" and Ellinor Porcher Gadsden, lived in and maintained the property for generations. Throughout the mid-20th century, the Gadsden sisters ran The Pines as a high society boardinghouse and social hub.","The Rockbridge County, Virginia home of Miles Poindexte, the former U.S. Senator from Washington State and Ambassador to Peru, is a historic estate known as \"Elk Cliff\". The property is situated on the south bank of the James River near Natural Bridge Station, Virginia, in southern Rockbridge County. After retiring from his diplomatic and political career, Poindexter returned to Virginia and resided at Elk Cliff until his death on September 21, 1946. He shared the home with his brother, Fielding. Miles Poindexter was deeply connected to the area, having attended the local Fancy Hill Academy and graduated with a law degree from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia.  ","In this photo he is standing in front of the house.","This house, located at 110 W. Preston Street in Lexington, Virginia, was built between 1821 and 1825 by the building partnership of Jordan and Darst It originally served as the home for Henry Ruffner, a professor who later became the president of Washington College. In 1844, the property was purchased by Colonel John Thomas Lewis Preston, one of the primary founders and a Latin professor at the neighboring Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Margaret Junkin Preston, following her marriage to Colonel Preston on August 3, 1857, moved into this three-story brick home. She stepped into the roles of homemaker and stepmother to his seven children. From this specific vantage point on Preston Street, she authored numerous stories and poems, including her acclaimed wartime ballad Beechenbrook, earning her wide distinction as the \"Poet Laureate of the Confederacy\". In June 1864, Margaret witnessed the devastation of the Civil War firsthand from this house. She documented the raid of Union General David Hunter's forces, which included the burning of VMI and the clearing out of her home's smokehouse and cellar.","The 207 North Randolph Street, Lexington, Virginia home was purchased in 1893 by William\nPrice. The house had been moved from the Washington College campus in Lexington, Virginia. William, born in 1869, would serve as butler to Custis Lee, son of\nRobert E.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 home is situated along Route 11, North Lee Highway.","The historic Green Valley farmhouse was built in 1815, along the Harrisonburg-Warm Springs Turnpike. The property began as a frontier cabin built by a settler named Mr. McCallop. It was purchased by James Frazer, who significantly expanded the log and weatherboard building to operate it as a prominent tavern and stagecoach stop. 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. This house was the family's principal plantation country home and the birthplace of General Elisha Paxton.","The Gen.

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. Petty sold 7.5 acres of land on Brattons Run, near Goshen and Kerrs Creek, to David S. Day. ","James Clifton Petty, lived in the area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born around 1881 in Virginia to John Henry Petty and Mary Jane Petty. He married Zola Lucille Agnor, born about 1885.

The property dates back to 1819, when it was built by and for Benjamin Darst. Darst was a highly prominent local craftsman in the Rockbridge County building trades. In the 1880s, the home transitioned to General William Nelson Pendleton. He was a close colleague of Robert E. Lee and the rector of the local Grace Episcopal Church. He purchased The Pines as his retirement estate. The home's association with the Gadsden family came via General Pendleton's daughter, Annelletta \"Lella\" Pendleton, who married E. M. E. Gadsden. Their descendants, including the \"Gadsden twins\" and Ellinor Porcher Gadsden, lived in and maintained the property for generations. Throughout the mid-20th century, the Gadsden sisters ran The Pines as a high society boardinghouse and social hub.","The Rockbridge County, Virginia home of Miles Poindexte, the former U.S. Senator from Washington State and Ambassador to Peru, is a historic estate known as \"Elk Cliff\". The property is situated on the south bank of the James River near Natural Bridge Station, Virginia, in southern Rockbridge County. After retiring from his diplomatic and political career, Poindexter returned to Virginia and resided at Elk Cliff until his death on September 21, 1946. He shared the home with his brother, Fielding.

Preston Street in Lexington, Virginia, was built between 1821 and 1825 by the building partnership of Jordan and Darst It originally served as the home for Henry Ruffner, a professor who later became the president of Washington College. In 1844, the property was purchased by Colonel John Thomas Lewis Preston, one of the primary founders and a Latin professor at the neighboring Virginia Military Institute (VMI). Margaret Junkin Preston, following her marriage to Colonel Preston on August 3, 1857, moved into this three-story brick home. She stepped into the roles of homemaker and stepmother to his seven children. From this specific vantage point on Preston Street, she authored numerous stories and poems, including her acclaimed wartime ballad Beechenbrook, earning her wide distinction as the \"Poet Laureate of the Confederacy\". In June 1864, Margaret witnessed the devastation of the Civil War firsthand from this house. She documented the raid of Union General David Hunter's forces, which included the burning of VMI and the clearing out of her home's smokehouse and cellar.","The 207 North Randolph Street, Lexington, Virginia home was purchased in 1893 by William\nPrice. The house had been moved from the Washington College campus in Lexington, Virginia. William, born in 1869, would serve as butler to Custis Lee, son of\nRobert E.

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 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.

","The Center for Women's and Gender Studies (CWGS) is an academic unit within West Virginia University's Eberly College of Arts and Sciences that offers a central location for discourse relative to the field of women's and gender studies. CWGS finds its origins in an informal Caucus for Women's Concerns formed in 1972 within West Viginia University (WVU) to \"achieve equitable treatment of women.\" In 1977, the Caucus submitted recommendations to then-WVU President Gene Budig regarding the establishment of a women's studies program and an advisory council on women's concerns. In response to these recommendations, the Caucus was officially accepted by the university as the Council for Women's Concerns (CWC), which included a Women's Studies Subcommittee formed to research and help facilitate a formal women's studies program.","The first proposal for a women's studies program was submitted to the CWC by Renata Pore in 1978, upon which a search committee headed by Dr. Enid Portnoy of the English Department was established. In 1980, the Women's Studies Program (WSP) was officially established as an interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Judith Stitzel, a founding member of the CWC, was selected to serve as the first part-time coordinator of the WSP.","Under Stitzel's direction, the WSP developed an undergraduate Certificate Program in Women's Studies to be first offered in 1984. Simultaneously, the Center for Women's Studies (CWS) was established in the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research to provide a collective space for students to gather. Judith Stitzel was made the founding director of the center, a position she would hold until 1992, making her the longest consecutive director of the center. The CWS would become affiliated with the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences in 1993.","The first undergraduate Certificates in Women's Studies at WVU were awarded to six students in 1986, the same year the first Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) graduated in Women's Studies. The Carrie Koeteurius Scholarship, which is still offered as of 2024, was first awarded to Deborah Gregory Eck and Lilo Ast in 1987.","One of the early major projects of the CWC, the Women's Centenary, \"Excellence Through Equity\" began planning in 1987 with Dr. Lillian Waugh being chosen as the research coordinator. After several years of planning and research, the Women's Centenary commenced in September 1989 on the 100-year anniversary of the first group of women to be admitted to WVU as degree candidates. Events were held over a two-year period, including lecture series, galas, building rededications, historical tours, exhibits, time capsule creations, and county-wide engagements. The Women's Centenary culminated with a convocation in 1991 on the 100-year anniversary of the first woman to graduate from WVU, Harriet Lyon.","In 1992, Judith Stitzel stepped down as director of the CWC, and the position was taken up by Helen Bannan from 1994 to 1998. Under Barbara Howe's directorship from 1998 to 2007, a BA and undergraduate minor in women's studies was established to coexist with the Certificate in Women's Studies. The first WVU women's studies major, Jamie Lynn Baxter, graduated in December 2003.","Janice Spleth served as interim director between 2008 and 2009, before Ann Oberhauser took directorship in 2009. Under her leadership in 2012, the CWC was renamed the Center for Women's and Gender Studies to incorporate a larger scale of classes and topics. After Oberhauser stepped down in 2013, Jennifer Orlikoff took directorship until 2016. Between 2016 and 2019, Cari Carpenter and Kasi Jackson served as interim directors, during which the LGBTQ+ Center was opened. In 2019, Sharon Bird became director, a position she still holds as of October 2024. In 2021, the Center for Women's and Gender Studies moved into its home in the Hodges Hall, Suite 505.","This collection contains materials collected or created by the Center for Women's Studies (CWS) while researching and preparing for the West Virginia University (WVU) Women's Centenary between 1989 and 1991. While research and planning materials are the most prevalent materials in the collection, there are also administrive and ephemeral materials. The majority of materials relate to women at WVU, particularly during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The registers also provide information on the voter's date of registration, number, name, whether they had been \"sworn,\" age, occupation, place of residence, length of residence in the county, length of residence in the state, and, if naturalized, the date of naturalization and the court which issued the naturalization. Often included in the naturalization column is a note about whether a particular voter's registration was transferred to or from another precinct.
