Just three years later, in 1897, the steeple and its belfry were completely destroyed after being struck by lightning. While both structures were eventually replaced, the architectural proportions were altered. As the church community outgrew the 1894 building, the structure was replaced in 1926 with the current Romanesque Revival style design seen today, which trades a towering steeple for low-slung, medieval-inspired architecture and an arcade walkway.","Liberty Hill is a historic, Federal and Greek Revivalstyle brick country manor built in 1836.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

","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.","This Petty family home may be located along Route 633, Rockbridge Alum Springs Road and Bratton's Run in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

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 \u0026amp; Pflueger and Lewis P.

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.

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\".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.","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.
