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.

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 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\".

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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHistorical 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.

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.  It is located near the Mountain View Elementary school in Rockbridge County, Virginia.","Marlbrook Creek Falls, often referred to as Marl Creek Falls, is a 50-foot waterfall located on private property in the Cornwall area of Rockbridge County, Virginia. Because it sits entirely on private land, it is closed to general public access, and no trespassing is permitted. Marl Creek plunges into South River about three or four miles up river from where South River enters Maury River.","Matthew Fontaine Maury was an American oceanographer and naval officer, serving the United States and then joining the Confederacy during the American Civil War. He was nicknamed \"Pathfinder of the Seas\" and is considered a founder of modern oceanography. Maury was a professor at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in Lexington, Virginia. The North River was officially renamed to the Maury River by the Virginia General Assembly in 1945. It was named in honor of Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury.","Jordan's Point at East Lexington, Virginia, located at the confluence of the Maury River, formerly the North River, and Woods Creek, just north of downtown Lexington, Virginia, served as the town's primary industrial and transportation gateway throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.","Lover's Leap is an officially designated cliff and topographic feature is situated approximately 2.4 miles northeast of East Lexington, Virginia. ","The Mayflower Hotel in Lexington, Virginia, located at 409 South Main Street, is a historic landmark, which was a grand hotel.

Sallie was the wife of John Harvey Moore, married November 15, 1881 in Lexington, Virginia.","The Rockbridge Regional Library building at 312 South Main Street, Lexington, Virginia, when it was a home, was bought by Louie Moore, Mrs. James William Moore, in 1891, who owned the house until her death in 1934.","The home of the late Reverend Dr. William W. Morton and his wife in Lexington, Virginia, is a historic 11-room, 4-bathroom residence located on South Jefferson Street, Lexington, Virginia. Dr. and Mrs. Morton purchased the estate in 1935 from Mrs. R. Granville Campbell. The property had previously belonged to her husband, Dr. R. Granville Campbell, a professor at Washington and Lee University. Following the passing of Mrs. Morton, the home was sold in June 1962 by the executor of her estate, which ws the Peoples National Bank, to Major and Mrs. Thomas B. Gentry. ","Dr. Morton was a prominent local Presbyterian minister and theologian. He frequently filled pulpits and assisted congregations across the Rockbridge County, Virginia region.","Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church is a historic congregation, founded in the 1830s, located off of North Route 11, at 6410 North Lee Highway in Steeles Tavern, Virginia, right along the border of Augusta County and Rockbridge County.","The stately stone manor house at Buffalo Forge in Rockbridge County, Virginia, was built and named by ironmaster William Weaver, who began constructing the mansion around 1819. 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.  Andrew Reid, the first clerk of court for Rockbridge County, Virginia, purchased the land in 1797 and constructed the original one-story brick structure. 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.

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.

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.

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\".
