Rivah (‘riv-â), n. [der. river]:
1. the lands and waters
of the Northern Neck
and Middle Peninsula of
Virginia, USA, particularly
favored by urban dwellers
for spring, summer and fall
escapes. 2. a region in these
peninsulas bound by the
Chesapeake Bay and the
Rappahannock, Potomac
and York rivers, inclusive.
adj.– rivah: reflecting an
attitude indicative of the
abundantly pleasant lifestyle
in this area.
I
n August, thoughts turn to back-to-school shopping and daily
routines of early bed times, homework and school sporting
events. But don’t fret about the approaching school year and
hectic schedules yet, there’s still a lot of summer left. Make the
most of it, by taking a day trip to Colonial Beach where on Saturdays and Sundays visitors can tour the Westmoreland waterfront
town by trolley. Hop aboard with reporter Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi
and travel the trolley route.
Or take a cruise to Tangier Island aboard the Chesapeake
Breeze. Reporter Audrey Thomasson introduces readers to the
Galloways, who have been welcoming cruisers aboard the ships at
Buzzard’s Point for more than 20 years.
Speaking of cruising, join “Captain” Dan Corder aboard his
one-of-a-kind vessel, the Brown Pearl. Capt. Dan turns old,
worn-out boats into pirate ships.
August is carnival time in Rivah country. Check out our calendar
of events to find out dates and times for two of the area’s oldest
and biggest festivals, the Kilmarnock Volunteer Fire Department’s
Firemen’s Carnival in Kilmarnock and the Richmond County Fair
in Warsaw.
It seems that July was a busy but fun month for our readers,
who filled our email with dozens of pictures for our Rivah Life
pages. We hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we did.
Keep taking photos and enjoy these last dog days of summer.
And continue to support the businesses that make the Rivah Visitor’s Guide possible.

Readers theater will focus
on a ‘woman’s life’ times five
WHITE STONE—The Lancaster Players is
trying something different this summer— a readers theater. “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” will be
presented at 8 p.m. August 28 and 29 and 3 p.m.
August 30.
The Lancaster Playhouse, 361 Chesapeake
Drive, White Stone, will open one hour before
performance times.
Tickets are $15. For reservations, visit lancasterplayers.org, or call 435-3776.
The play, “Love, Loss, and What I Wore,” by
Dora and Delia Ephron, is from the book by Ilene
Beckerman, said Sheila Brown. A series of monologues and interactive moments highlight sig-
nificant moments in a woman’s life. Five veteran
actors will recall a key event in a woman’s life by
what she was wearing, hence the play’s title.
The cast, Holly Covington, Amy Lewis, Doreen
Robertson, Susan Robertson and Kat Shepherd,
will bring 29 different women to life using their
voices and emotive abilities, rather than through
traditional “on-stage” performance.
Readers theatre involves performers who read
a play’s text rather than act it out. They know the
lines, but have the script in front of them, said
Brown. The purpose of readers theater is to share
a play with the audience in the most natural and
simple way.

20 • Rivah • August 2015 to launch into work mode, tying the
docking lines to piers and putting the
ramp in position for passengers waiting to disembark. Geraldine stands out
of the way, having just had her cast
removed that morning. Frank joins her
and they wait patiently off to the side.
People crowd around the exit,
anxious to get home after a long day
in the hot sun touring the island. Yet,
at least a half dozen passengers walk
out of their way to greet the couple,
asking where they have been and
when will they return. The Galloways
know many of them by name. They
exchange pleasantries, there is no
hurry. They are respectful of everyone,
including the young students working
the ship.
Captain Linwood Bowis welcomes
them with a giant hug.
“They’re the most dependable and
conscientious employees I’ve had,” he
said. “They make a heck of a team.
One passenger said it was a pleasure
to see someone who enjoyed their job
so much. That’s the best thing I’ve ever
heard.”
When the Galloways return to work,
Geraldine will continue as the ship
photographer and maintain the snack
bar. While she tends to a variety of
passenger needs, as a retired nurse she
also helps passengers exposed to too
much sun or feeling a little queazy.
Frank starts up and maintains the
ship’s three engines and two generators, and is as quick with handling
lines as any young buck. Between
crossings, the couple restock supplies,
check and record fuel and water levels
and keep the ship looking in tip-top
The Chesapeake Breeze
The Chesapeake Breeze ferries
passengers daily May through October from Buzzard’s Point Marina at
Fairport near Reedville to Tangier
Island. The ship departs Buzzard’s
Point at 10 a.m. and arrives in Tangier at 11:30 a.m. On the return leg,
the ship departs Tangier at 2:15 and
arrives at the marina at 4 p.m. Fare
is $27 for adults, $15 for children.
Frank Galloway pitches in to help Capt. Linwood Bowis dock the Chesapeake Breeze.
Each item in the Galloways’ nautical collection has personal meaning.
shape, washing sea salt from the hull
and cleaning the interior, including
scrubbing down the engine room.
“We do whatever needs to be done,”
said Geraldine.
One time that included assisting with
the evacuation of island residents when
hurricanes threatened the low-lying
land. They’ve also enjoyed some scenic
excursions.
“When we come upon menhaden
boats fishing the waters, Capt. Linwood stops the boat so passengers can
watch,” said Frank. “We’ve been on
special cruises too, like following the
tall ships when they visit.”
But the couple is slowing down a bit.
“We mostly work weekends now,
when the students want off,” said
Frank.
Frank has come full circle—born
and raised in Lancaster and getting
his first job on menhaden ships before
joining the army in 1950. During a
visit with relatives in New Jersey,
he fell head over heels for Geraldine
and built his career in her home state,
mostly in the steel industry. Geraldine
put her nursing degree into practice,
also serving for 22 years as welfare
director for Lawrence Township. But
after becoming empty nesters, Frank
longed to return to Virginia. And Geraldine was by his side all the way.
They started their new life here by
chartering the Breeze to take 20 guests
to Norfolk for their retirement party in
1987. It must have been a great party,
because not long after Frank started
helping Capt. Linwood with the boat’s
maintenance. Geraldine sort of fell into
the job when she began accompanying

Frank.
“I went out to get used to being on
the water,” said the former land lover.
But she was soon working the snack
bar and helping Frank with the lines.
In preparation for their retirement,
they had purchased property off
Mosquito Point Road where a popular dance hall once rocked well into
the early morning hours. Their home
now sits on the bluff overlooking the
Rappahannock River. A manicured
lawn rolls down to the water’s edge.
Frank has returned to his fishing days,
but this time from his pier where he
casts a gill net out to catch the evening
meal.
Inside, they share their vast nautical
collection which occupies a corner of
the living room and spills down a spiral
staircase to the family room. Paintings
of Tangier Island and several ships hang
on the walls. Book shelves display a
variety of model ships for Frank and
lighthouses for Geraldine. Each piece
represents their history. There are
replicas of the boats Frank worked on
in the late 1940s—Alden S. Swan and
E. Warren Read—and his father’s old
skiff.
Geraldine knows the Chesapeake
Bay site of every lighthouse model.
After all, they visited each one—
together.
There is a gentle respectfulness about
this couple that unfolds around them. It
shows in the serenity and order of their
home. It is evident in their devotion to
duty and others. Let’s hope they can
spend another 20 years as goodwill
ambassadors to vacationers to Rivah
Country.

Anglers club will hold
Spanish Lessons in August
KILMARNOCK—The Northern Neck Anglers Club (NNAC)
recently announced the dates of its
upcoming meetings and 2015 fishing tournaments.
The NNAC is dedicated to
educating anglers about saltwater fishing techniques and sharing information about tackle, bait
selection, fishing techniques and
locations, reported vice president
Mark Roy.
At club meetings, anglers can
gain special insights from guest
speakers, said Roy. All fishermen in
the Northern Neck region are urged
to join the club and participate in
NNAC meetings and tournaments.
The NNAC will meet at 7 p.m.
October 3 at Lancaster Community Library, 235 School Street,
Kilmarnock.
The 2015 tournament schedule
includes (by tournament, species
and date):
• Spanish Lessons, bluefish,
Spanish mackerel and spot, August
15-16.
• Grab Bag, Spanish mackerel,
speckled trout and spot, September
12-13.
• Octoberfest, bluefish and speckled trout, October 10-11.
• Bonus Rockfish, rockfish,
November 28-29.
Annual dues are $30 and all tournaments are free to members, said
Roy.

Lottsburg; Smith Point Marina,
Coast Guard releases
safe boating app
The U.S. Coast Guard released
its first boating safety app last week
as the kickoff to this year’s National
Safe Boating Week, May 16-22.
The app is available on the Apple
and Google Play online stores.
The boating safety app was
not designed to replace a boater’s
VHF radio, which the Coast Guard
strongly recommends all boaters
have onboard their vessels. The app
is designed to provide additional
boating safety resources for mobile
device users.
App features include state boating information, a safety equipment checklist, free boating safety
check requests, navigation rules,
float plans and calling features to
report pollution or suspicious activity. When location services are
enabled, users can receive the latest
weather reports from the closest
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration weather buoys
as well as report the location of a
hazard on the water.
The app also features an emergency assistance button that will
call the closest Coast Guard command center if location services are
enabled.
The app is self-contained, so personal information is stored on the
phone and is not sent to the Coast
Guard unless the user chooses to
send it. The Coast Guard does not
track a user’s location, and the app
does not track a user’s location
unless the app is being used.
The app was developed during
a two-year period with BastayaPR,
a non-profit organization in Puerto
Rico.
For more information about the
app, visit uscg.mil/mobile or contact Lt. Anastacia Visneski at 202372-4648.

There will be boats for sale, music, food, beer garden and crab pot demonstrations. Homeowners along Main Street also will hold yard sales.
Best of all, there are rides on the Elva C, which will be making trips
every hour starting at 10:30 a.m., said Ames. Seats are first come, first

Typhoon racing: A family affair
by Ned Crockett
IRVINGTON—We are indeed
fortunate to live in an area where
water sports are enjoyed by many
families and friends. Sailing is
one of those sports to be enjoyed
whether learning to sail, cruising,
or racing.
The
Rappahannock
River
Yacht Club sponsors many sailing
opportunities with its youth sailing program, active cruising fleet,
PHRF or “big boys” racing, and
Cape Dory Typhoon Fleet racing.
The RRYC committee boat Wildfire and mark boat Doug Power
may often be seen, flags flying,
heading for the racing grounds on
the beautiful Rappahannock River.
The youth sailing program
focuses almost entirely on family
involvement with mom and dad
helping son and/or daughter prepare their Opti, Sunfish, or Laser
for weekly racing.
The cruisers have a cruise leader
who plans weekend or week-long
cruises to surrounding areas and
distant ports and usually involves
husbands and wives with the help
and enjoyment of family friends.
For them, the pressure of racing is
but a fleeting thought. Their pleasure comes from visiting interesting places and the parties that
follow once they arrive.
Fleet racing, PHRF and
Typhoon, combines all of the
pleasures of fellowship and being
on the water in competition with
fellow sailors. PHRF racing is
divided into three classes: spinnaker, non-spinnaker and cruising. The PHRF boats carry crews
that can number six or more consisting of a variety of folks from
family members, to dear friends,
From left, brothers Stanford and Ned Crockett compete in an area Typhoon competition in Ladybug.
to strangers. They generally are
fiercely competitive and enjoy a
good party following racing.
Now, the Typhooners are in a
class by themselves. Many were
cruisers and/or PHRF racers in
their “other sailing life,” but have
settled for a more civilized and
refined competitive sport. I refer
to Typhoon racing as a “Family
Affair” because of the make-up
of the two-person racing teams
seen weekly on the race course.
Typhoon family racing teams
include father/son (Mihills, Birdsalls), father/daughter (Worthingtons, Richardsons), husband/
wife (Wells, Ehrings, Wachters,
West/Cycotte, Kupers, Winters),
grandfather/grandson (Youngs),
and brother/brother (Crocketts).
Also teamed up are very dear
friends who amazingly begin and
end the racing season still very
dear friends (Sissy and Arabella,
Steve and Gordon, Gary and many
friends, Tom and Mikey, Danielle
and Stephanie).
Family support for the Typhoon
Fleet is evident at the awards/
dinner ceremonies following racing
events. Wives, mothers, grandparents, kids, and husbands who
choose not to be involved directly
in the racing come out to support
and cheer for their racing relatives.
The fun of Typhoon ownership extends beyond the racing.
In recent years Typhooners have
been spotted in faraway places like
Urbanna and Topping enjoying the
local fare. Generally, they meet at
the mouth of Carters Creek at an
appointed time and descend upon
these distant places in mass. Not
bad for a 19-foot sloop.

Typhoon activities, visit rryc.net

Nice catch
Eileen Hastings and Warren
Heath of Remlik had a successful
weekend
fishing
on
the
Chesapeake Bay on the weekend
of July 11. Right, Warren holds a
53-inch, 42-lb. cobia they caught
off Windmill Point, and above
the couple holds a nice mess of
spadefish.
“SpecTackler” cobia
Four Richmond friends spent Saturday, July 4, fishing on their beloved Chesapeake Bay. They are co-owners
of the boat “SpecTackler” out of the Corrotoman River in the Northern Neck. John Barber, Jason and his dad
“Doc” Hopkins, and Brian Workman enjoyed an early run down the Rappahannock River and out into the bay.
The boat was anchored off Windmill Point and the group began fishing for cobia. After a rain shower passed
through and sharks bit off many of their baits, finally there was a proper cobia bite. Workman took the rod
and expertly brought the huge fish to the boat where it was netted by the Hopkins duo. The citation cobia
was certified at B.E.S.T. Marine near Saluda. It measured 63.5” in length and weighed 82 lbs., 11 oz. Above,
from left, John Barber, Jason Hopkins, Brian Workman and “Doc” Hopkins display their citation cobia.
Fishing fun
From left, Capt. Bob Reed,
Whit Kern, Garrett Simpson,
Johnathan Kern, Trey Kern and
Tom Kern on July 3 hooked a
49-inch cobia near Windmill
bar, fishing with Capt. Reed.
Simpson did a great job
bringing the big fish to the
net, said Capt. Reed. Also,
Kern struggled with a 100pound Atlantic ray, but finally
brought it to the boat.
Shark on
Julie Ellis caught this baby shark while fishing for cobia at the mouth of
the Rappahannock River near Windmill Point. Baby bull shark or not?
Wicks lands huge cobia
Fishing with guide Bob Reed aboard Capt. Roy Sheppard’s boat, Diane C, Tom Wicks landed a huge cobia
after a well-fought 35-minute struggle. From left are Bob Reed, Roy Hall, Roy Shepard, Ian Duncan and Tom
Wicks. The entire party demonstrated great skill in the effort to land the strong fish and get her in the boat,
said Reed.

“Your service is our Priority”
Brown Pearl is lurking on
Pirate’s Cove in Harryhogan
by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi
Dan Corder, aka Captain Dan, builds pirate ships at his home in
Harryhogan in Northumberland County.
Dan Corder converted his floating dock into a floating sunken pirate ship. Photo by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi
I resisted the urge to scowl
“Aaarrr, matey” as I climbed
aboard the Brown Pearl at
Pirate’s Cove in Harryhogan.
Dan Corder, aka Captain
Dan, had given me simple directions to his waterfront home in
Northumberland County. “We’ll
be the house with the pirate ship.
You can’t miss us.”
It was a sunny, clear July
afternoon, hot and humid, but a
perfect day to get on the water,
something Capt. Dan says he
can’t resist.
“I love the water. I’ll take
any opportunity to get out on
the river,” he said, steering the
24-foot
sailboat-turned-pirate
ship out of its home port on
Lodge Creek and easing it
towards the Yeocomico River.
36 • Rivah • August 2015 “Everybody around here loves
this pirate ship. It’s the scourge
of the Northern Neck,” he said
with a laugh.
Capt. Dan channels his inner
pirate every chance he gets. He
spotted a sailboat and turned
the Brown Pearl in its direction.
“Let’s see if we can menace this
sailboat.”
Of course, he was only joking,
as we pulled closer to the sailboat and waved a hello to those
on board. Capt. Dan keeps fake
gold coins aboard the ship and
passes them out to children on
other boats. He’s one of those
friendly pirates.
A retired firefighter and transplant from Northern Virginia,
Capt. Dan and his wife own and
manage the Callao Community
Trading Post. He and his son,
Dan Jr., also have a handyman
business. But in his spare time,
he fuels his real passion, converting old, abandoned, bound-forthe-junk-yard boats into pirate
ships complete with make-shift
cannons, skeletons and booty.
He’s made seven pirate ships,
about one a year, since he took
on the hobby.
One was featured in an HGTV
series, My Yard Goes Disney:
Galloway. Capt. Dan had listed
the 24-foot boat for sale on
Craigslist and got a “very benign
email from someone wanting my
phone number,” he said. “A few
minutes later, I got a call from
a man who said he was the vice
president with Disney corporation and he was interested in the
boat.
Capt. Dan immediately suspected one of his fire department
buddies playing a joke and said,
“Look partner, I don’t know who
you are but you’ve got about two
minutes to tell me the real deal
or I’m hanging up.”
Capt. Dan researched the
man on a Disney website and
called him back. Seems Disney
was partnering with HGTV to
convert a backyard in Cincinnati, Ohio, into a Disney theme,
complete with a pirate ship play
area. They buried the ship and
surrounded it with blue flowers
for a water effect.
“The funniest thing was going
up the interstate towing a pirate
ship,” said Capt. Dan, who
hauled the ship with his son and
daughter-in-law from the Northern Neck to Ohio. “You should
have seen the looks we got.”
Another one of his conversion ships is taking passengers
on pirate ship tours in Key West.
Some he makes by special order,
others he makes and then tries
to sell by word of mouth, Facebook, Craigslist or Ebay. Right
now, there is a 16-foot pirate
ship for sale at Callao Community Trading Post.
“You know what we do is
not all that impossible to do,”
said Capt. Dan. “Really it’s an
art. Anybody with a little bit of
imagination can do one of these
things.”
Capt. Dan’s first project was
converting a dinghy into a pirate
ship yard ornament, then his
neighbor offered up an old boat
he was discarding and Capt. Dan
turned that into a pirate ship.
“It kind of got out of hand
from there” said his son.
He’s converted all kinds of
boats into pirate ships—center
consoles, sailboats, even a pontoon boat. A visitor from Smith
Mountain Lake saw the second
boat he made and said, “I’ve got
to have it,” and that’s when he
started selling them.
sold for $7,000 and the 28-foot
“They really are remarkably model sailing now in Key West
affordable for the detail,” said went for $5,000.
Capt. Dan, whose HGTV boat
“The only way it makes financial sense is by using old boats
and being creative with what we
put on them,” he said.
He and his son take the hull of
the boats and add several rows
of old wood, paint everything
brown, distress it, add ragged
and worn sails, skeletons, flags
and pirate paraphernalia.
“Even though it’s a brown
pirate ship, it’s a ‘green’ ship,”
said Capt. Dan, who is all about
recycling.
Looking at the Brown Pearl, I
noticed its crow’s nest.
“That’s an old wooden planter.
Dan Corder uses household items, such as an old planter turned
crow’s nest, to decorate his pirate ships.
The Brown Pearl sets sail.
Most people have a half dozen at
their house,” he said.
The mast is an old porch
column. The safety warning horn
is an old Model A horn that Capt.
Dan literally blows by mouth.
His “working” cannon is made
from PVC pipe and painted
black. “It’s basically a powerful
potato gun,” he said.
“If you look at the details on
the ship, you’ll see that we look
at something and decide how we
can repurpose it.”
A lot of the skeletons, flags,
plastic swords and guns and
treasures he finds at yards sales,
thrift stores, even after-Halloween sales.
The Brown Pearl, which has a
25-horsepower engine and will
hold about seven people, can
maneuver in as little as eight
inches of water. Capt. Dan just
hasn’t been able to part with her.
“People around here really
love the Pearl,” he said. “It’s
probably my favorite too.”
On one of the Brown Pearl’s
first voyages on Lodge Creek,
Capt. Dan was approached by
the marine police, asking for his
license and registration.
“I jokingly said, ‘No sir. US
Coast Guard regulations don’t
apply to pirate ships.’ Then the
guy laughed and I went on and
handed him the information.
Obviously, I just have a lot of fun
with these ships.”
The hull of the Brown Pearl includes skeletons and booty.

Tip:
isa, I have a feeling we’re
not in Kilmarnock anymore . . .” I think were my exact
words when seated on the patio
of the Kilmarnock Inn to enjoy
Sunday brunch. Surrounded by
lush landscaping, sounds of a
waterfall and birds chirping,
one barely notices the traffic of
Kilmarnock’s downtown Steptoe’s District, a stone’s throw
from the hidden courtyard.
Itching to review something
different, Rivah editorial director Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi and
I decided on the Kilmarnock
Inn’s dining room, most recently
named Filibuster’s Seafood and
Steakhouse at the Kilmarnock
Inn.
Filibuster’s boasts a Sunday
brunch buffet that features a
scrumptious variety of fresh seafood, flavorful meats, vegetables
and, of course, breakfast basics.
Owned and operated by Shawn
Donahue, the Kilmarnock Inn
honors the rich presidential history of the Northern Neck. Eight
presidents were born in Virginia,
and each of the Kilmarnock Inn’s
eight guest cottages are named
for a Virginia-born president.
Starting off, as I would with
any other brunch, I ordered a
Bloody Mary. But this isn’t just
any ordinary Bloody Mary. Filibuster’s features the Bloody Mary
Meal—and yes, it could suffice
as a meal! This Bloody Mary
features bacon, olives, sweet
peppers, asparagus, a pickled
carrot and a mini jar of Tabasco
sauce. Sounds fabulous, right? It
certainly is. Lisa was thirsty for
a more traditional brunch beverage, a Mimosa. Once our beverages arrived we were offered to
visit the buffet at our leisure.
Upon finishing my drink, our
server, Tara, ordered me another
and we excitedly headed inside.
We previewed the beautifully
displayed buffet, grabbed a plate
and started sampling. For starters, the buffet offers a homemade
sweet sausage and spinach soup
served in a heart-shaped bowl—
this soup certainly has a lot of
love! It was light, yet hardy, and
a perfect start. Moving down the
line, I came across one of my
favorites–smoked salmon atop a
Himalayan salt block served with
a creamy dill sauce.
Next came a chipotle-rubbed
pork tenderloin served with pork
fried rice. We also sampled coconut shrimp, a summer zucchini
and squash mix and a single
large shrimp served atop individual ramekins of cocktail sauce
with a lemon wedge.
Hungry yet? I’ll keep going.
Moving along, we came to a fresh
garden salad with a choice of
toppings, fresh fruit and pastries.
Coming down the home stretch,
we found breakfast favorites
such as scrambled eggs, French
Owner Shawn Donahue greets customers.
toast, biscuits and sausage gravy
and the best maple, brown sugar
bacon. According to cook Laura
Morgan, this spectacular bacon
is flavored and baked on site.
As if this meal couldn’t get
any better, it did, simply because
we are heading into my favorite
part, dessert. We enjoyed a dessert sampling of a Key West bar,
which is similar to a lemon bar, a
cheesecake bar, an Oreo chocolate bar and individual servings
of chocolate mouse accompanied with whipped cream and a
large juicy strawberry. In addition, we were offered two port
wines. Featured that day were a
Horton Vineyard Pear Port and
Terra d’oro Zinfandel Port. Both
were refreshingly sweet with
deep flavors and a perfect pair
with our various decadent desserts.
Lisa has had the pleasure of
enjoying a night’s stay at the Inn.
I have not and our server was
gracious enough to open a suite
and allow us to peek inside. We
visited the George Suite, secondfloor accommodations which
feature a large living room and
a bedroom with a king-size bed.
The George Suite treetop balcony offers wide views of the
beautiful serene courtyard. Wedding and corporate packages are
available.
The Kilmarnock Inn offers
relaxation, fine dining and a
serene atmosphere without leaving the Northern Neck.
Order the daily special. It’s typically never
repeated and comes
highly
recommended
from frequent Kilmarnock
Inn/Filibuster’s customers.

44 • Rivah • August 2015 URBANNA—Beautiful Rosegill
Plantation will be the setting for a
“Sunday Brunch” from 1-3 p.m. on
Sunday, August 9. The Middlesex
County Museum will host the
fundraiser at the historic home near
Urbanna.
George Washington’s unique
leadership style will be the focus
of guest speaker Carson L. Tucker’s
presentation “Composure: The Sine
Qua Non of George Washington.”
Popular with both his troops and his
constituents, General Washington
was an iconic man whose legacy as a
founding father is still strong today,
some 216 years after his death.
Tucker is a retired director of
leadership planning and organization development from Philip
Morris. As a consultant, he now
works for both profit and not-forprofit organizations in development,
change management, leadership,
and strategic planning.
He has taught leadership at the
University of Richmond and at the
University of Virginia. Currently
Tucker represents Powhatan’s 5th
District on the County Board of
Supervisors in his second 4-year
term.
Tickets for the event are $50 and
can be ordered through the museum
website at middlesexmuseum.com,
or picked up at the museum at 777
General Puller Highway, Saluda.
Funds will be used for general support and operation of the museum.
Call 758-3663 for more information.

IRVINGTON-Hospice Turkey
Shoot Regatta planning committee co-chairmen Joel Dugan and
George Bott recently welcomed
four new members, Kimberly
Vail, Barbara Ohanesian, Melise
Graham and Adrienne Green.
Vail is a member of the
Rappahannock River Yacht Club
in Irvington, and Ohanesian,
Graham and Green are members
of the Yankee Point Racing and
Cruising Club in Lancaster.
The clubs jointly host the annual
Hospice Turkey Shoot Regatta to
be held October 2 through 4 from
Carters Creek in Irvington.
Tom Chapman, co-race chair
with Jerry Latell, noted the Turkey
Shoot, affiliated with the National
Hospice Alliance, is the largest
Hospice regatta in the country.
He also stated that it is the largest
regatta of any kind on the southern
bay.
“We are expecting over 100
boats again this year,” said Chapman.
Dugan said Graham would
be taking on responsibility for
Turkey Shoot publicity. He noted
the regatta’s budget is very limited
in this area and said that it would
be a challenge for Graham to seek
creative ways of “getting the word
out.”
Ohanesian and Green, assisted
by Ellen Dugan and Bott, are
heading up the regatta’s official
program team. Their newest volunteers include Wallace McGinness, former president of the board
of Hospice Support Services of the
Northern Neck, and HSSNN volunteer Chris Holdridge who will
cover the northern counties.
Vail, a participant in a variety
of Irvington fundraising and community events, will be in charge
of registration and administration.
Vail brings excellent organizational and promotional skills to
the racing committee as well as to
the general planning committee,
said Chapman. He noted there is
a discount for early registration at
turkeyshoot.org.
The regatta is held each year to
benefit Hospice Support Services
of the Northern Neck and Riverside Hospices in Tappahannock
and Gloucester. For land-side

From 5 to 8 p.m., the restaurant and ice cream parlor will be
turned into a swinging hangout for
everyone that harbors a bit of nostalgia for the 1950s. Music from
the 1950s and vintage automobiles
will complement the delectables
that have made T&J’s a destination
for cool treats on a warm summer
evening.
“We encourage everyone, and
especially families, to dress up in
their jeans and tees and turn out
for a good time,” said LNHFH
board president Nan Flynn. “We’re
planning some other surprises to
make the evening a wonderful trip
down memory lane. This is a great
and tasty way to support Habitat.”
Jill White of T&J’s welcomes
everyone to come for dinner.
T&J’s will donate a portion of
sales to LNHFH. Donations will
be used to begin construction on
House #18 on Wiggins Avenue in
Kilmarnock.
“We have undeveloped property on Windmill Point, in
Northumberland County and near

“Donations from friends in the
community will allow us to accelerate construction on homes for
deserving neighbors.”

Colonial Beach: Trolley covers the town
by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi
Visitors can tour the waterfront town of Colonial Beach by car, foot, bicycle or golf cart. But
perhaps one of the best ways to see the sights and
sounds of the Westmoreland County town is by
trolley.
One of three trolleys in the Northern Neck
and Middle Peninsula operated by Bay Transit,
the Colonial Beach Trolley chugs along its hourlong route every Saturday and Sunday from late
May through early September and makes some 20
stops. The trolley operates from 11 a.m to 7 p.m.
on weekends plus Mondays on Memorial Day,
July 4 and Labor Day holiday weekends.
The first stop is the tourism office and municipal
pier, where visitors can fish, crab or stroll the pier
which jets out on the Potomac River and offers a
shady gazebo for gazing at the sunset or sunrise.
Colonial Beach was settled in 1650 by the greatgreat-grandfather of President James Monroe. The
town was incorporated in 1892 and in the late 19th
The Colonial Beach Trolley operates from 11 a.m to 7 p.m. on weekends
plus Mondays on Memorial Day, July 4, and Labor Day holiday weekends.
Shoppers can find just about everything and anything imaginable at the Compulsive Cravings Antiques & Gifts
shop in Colonial Beach, where Shirley Tarman helps a customer.
52 • Rivah • August 2015 The Colonial Beach Trolley stops at the town pier, where visitors can
stroll, fish and crab on the Potomac River or just relax under the gazebo.
Visitors find treasures at the Beach Shop.
century it became known as the “Playground on
the Potomac.”
Summer cottages, Victorian homes and hotels
were constructed with the incorporation, one of
the most famous of which still stands on Irving
Avenue. Alexander Graham Bell’s summer
home, now the Bell House Bed and Breakfast, is
stop number two on the trolley tour. The home,
which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Virginia Historic Landmark,
is one of six stops along Irving Avenue, a narrow
road which winds along Colonial Beach’s coastline, bordering cottages, homes and businesses
on one side and one of the largest beaches in the
state on the other. In fact, Colonial Beach has
a total area of 2.8 square miles with 2.5 miles
of beaches, making it a destination for many
visitors from Northern Virginia, Maryland and
Washington, DC.
The trolley offers a spectacular view of the
waterfront as it cruises Irving Avenue with stops
at the Wakefield Motel, Dockside Restaurant and Castlewood
Park, a playground area with
swing sets, picnic area and views
of Monroe Bay and the Potomac.
As the trolley winds its way
back through town, passing cottages with pristinely manicured
lawns and mom-and-pop shops
selling antiques and nautical
treasures, it makes a stop at the
Museum At Colonial Beach,
which tells the town’s story
through exhibits, photographs
and videos.
A stop at the Riverboat on the
Potomac allows visitors to take
a stroll on the town’s Board-
walk, starting at the River Edge Inn and ending
at the town pier. In between, visitors can try their
luck in the Riverboat on the Potomac, a gambling
establishment that also offers two dining areas,
one casual, one more formal. They can browse the
Beach Shop for beach wear, nautical decor and
souvenirs. They can grab lunch at High Tides on
the Potomac or if it’s close to sunset, have a drink
and relax with some live music at High Tides’
Black Pearl Tiki Bar.
Or, they may just want to lounge on the beach or
take a dip in the Potomac before boarding the trolley again and heading off to the Colonial Beach
Plaza then Beachgate Shopping Center, where
Colonial Beach Discount offers all the beach
necessities.
Stops along Washington and Colonial avenues
offer short walks to some of the most eclectic,
what-not-shops in the Northern Neck. Antiques,
oddities, new and used...all can be found in one of
about a half dozen stores throughout town.
No trolley route or tour of
Colonial Beach for that matter
would be complete without a
stop at Wilkerson’s Seafood
Restaurant on McKinney Boulevard. It’s stop 16 on the route
and has been a Colonial Beach
tradition since 1946. Owned
and operated by the Wilkerson
family for nearly 70 years, it
offers an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet on weekends. The
buffet starts at 5 p.m. on Saturdays and is all day on Sundays,
so stuff, stuff, stuff with fresh
seafood, then relax and ride
the trolley back to the heart of
town.
The trolley stops at the Bell House Bed and Breakfast.
Colonial Beach is a golf cart town.
Take the trolley to Riverboat on the Potomac, where visitors can dine
and try their luck.
Dine at High Tides on the Potomac and have a drink on the deck while swimmers and sunbathers enjoy the
beach.

DILLER’S CORNER—Children listen intently as the woman
in the 1920’s garb teaches them
history.
They have lots of questions.
“Where is the cafeteria?” asks one.
Another wants to know where the
bathrooms are. Some notice the
absence of computers and other
modern items taken for granted in
modern classrooms.
The students learn that children
brought their lunch to school and
the bathrooms were out back. Anything you would look up on a computer today had to be found in a
book. One child would be responsible for bringing water over from
the nearby Diller family well, and
another would be responsible for
bringing in fire wood for the stove
that warmed the building.
These students are at Shiloh
School, part of an educational
program that Northumberland
Preservation Inc. (NPI), the owner
of the property, offers to area
school children, said NPI board
member and program coordinator Charlene Talcott. Shiloh
School, Public School #8, is the
last one-room schoolhouse in
Northumberland County left unaltered and unmoved. It is listed on
Fall Programs set for Shiloh School
On Sunday, September 20, Ida Hall will speak on her career as a
waterman and her leadership in conservation. Hall was the first woman
appointed to the Potomac River Fisheries Commission, and became its
first female chair. The program will begin at 3 p.m.
On Sunday, October 18, the Shiloh String Band will perform songs
from the early 1900s, including the world premiere of “Song of Peace”
composed in 1911 by local residents W. Ball and Len Fleming. The
program will begin at 3 p.m.
On Saturday, November 7, the Rappahannock Astronomy Club will
bring their telescopes and expertise for viewing constellations, novae,
planets and other celestial happenings. The program will begin at 6
p.m.
All events are free and include refreshments. To confirm events, call
Charlene Talcott at 462-0227.

School and Balls Neck roads in Northumberland County. Shiloh School is

Places.
In the spring and fall, NPI
offers free educational programs
to the public, said Talcott. One of
the programs will feature music
from the period the school was
in use, 1906-1929. A highlight of
that program will be “A Song of
Peace,” music written in 1911 and
found by volunteer Jack Moore
as he was working in one of the
buildings. The composers are W.
Ball and Len Fleming and it was
published in Miskimon, Virginia.
As the Ball family was prominent
in the area, it is a good guess that
W. Ball lived nearby. (See sidebar
for the fall programs.)
There are two buildings on the
site, she said. The larger school
building was used from its construction in 1906 to 1929 and now

ing. W.S. and Lena J. Diller sold
“one square acre” of land to the
Wicomico Magisterial School
District on December 20, 1905,
for $50. Neighborhood fathers
built the school with wood that
was logged from the Diller property across the road and milled at
the Diller’s sawmill. Boards were
sawn, posts were milled, and
even the shutters with their “Z”
pattern were made from Diller
wood. The six Diller children
made up one-quarter of the student body.
The school replaced an older
building from 1884, continued
Talcott. That building was recently
donated to NPI and moved to the
site. It was also named Shiloh
School and is currently being
restored by NPI volunteers.
The newer Shiloh School closed
in 1929 when the county ordered
all white one-room schools closed,
she said. Students were transferred
to a graded school building in
Wicomico Church. Many of the
one-room schoolhouses throughout the county were turned into
schools for African-American students or were sold or torn down.
Shiloh School was sold by
the school board to Raymond L.
Haynie in 1939, who used it for
farm storage. It was later purchased by James W. and Emily
Hudnall who donated the property
and surrounding land to NPI in
1987. Although the floors and windows have been replaced, much of
the school building is original.
Funds and volunteers are
needed to complete the restoration
and upkeep of both buildings. To
volunteer, or make a donation to
the restoration effort, call Talcott

Begun in 1725, Rosewell
was home to the Page family
for more than 100 years. The
ruins sit on the bank of the York
River. Here, you may see the
brickwork and grace of form and
scale which have inspired poets
and architects since Thomas
Jefferson.
In 1916, a tragic fire swept
the mansion, leaving a magnificent shell which is testament to
18th century craftsmanship.
Remaining are the four chimneys, the east wall with its compass head window and carved
keystone, the wine cellar and
enough of the walls to sense
the proportion and scale of the
origninal structure. The last
family to own Rosewell donated
the ruins to the Gloucester Historical Society in 1979. Since
1995, the Rosewell Foundation
has taken on the mission of
preserving, studying, and presenting the historic ruin.

It happened here
by Larry S. Chowning
T
he February 8, 1989 issue of the Southside Sentinel
included an article titled “Establishment of Christchurch School
in 1921 gave some students an alternative to public education.”
In that article, the late Lewis Pierce of Urbanna said that in 1933,
the year he graduated from Christchurch School, students there
referred to themselves as Stingarees. He displayed with pride a
brass belt buckle embossed with the name Christchurch and an
image of a stingray beneath the school name.
Chrirstchurch School was founded as an all-boys school by the
Diocese of Virginia along with several other schools in the state.
St. Christopher’s School in Richmond, St. Margaret’s School
in Tappahannock, St. Catherine’s School in Richmond, and St.
Anne’s School in Charlottesville were also started by the Diocese
about the same time.
In 1920, Rev. F. Ernest Warren was the Episcopal minister
at Christ Church Parish Episcopal in Middlesex County and he
spearheaded a very aggressive campaign to have a church school
located near Urbanna. Warren also was secretary of the Urbanna
Board of Trade, an extremely progressive group made up of businessmen in the town of Urbanna. Warren was able to gain their
support for the school and persuaded them to donate $4,200 to go
toward purchasing the property for the school in or near town.
Early in the process, an Episcopal school advisory committee
was set up to make suggestions to Diocesan trustees as to the
best locations for an all-girls school and an all-boys school in the
Tidewater region. On October 14, 1920, the Diocese Advisory
Committee recommended the boys school be located at Warsaw,
but was split on the best location for an all-girls school. A majority wanted it located in Tappahannock, but Warren had gathered
strong support for the all-girls school being located near Urbanna.
Warren’s argument for the Urbanna site was that the town
offered good transportation (steamboats) and a reasonable cost
for excellent foods “in the heart of the Rappahannock oyster and
fish industry.” He additionally spoke of artesian water, freedom
from typhoid and malaria, the strong moral tone of the town, the
active Business Men’s Association, guests who come each year
from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York as well as from Richmond, the government concrete road (from West Point to Saluda),
and availability of good locations for a school. He was also able
to secure financial pledges of $15,000. The actual start-up cost for
a 50-student school was $35,000.
The proposed school sites were further complicated when the
Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce approached the Diocesan
trustees about having a school in downtown Fredricksburg. At
this junction, the trustees decided to form a new school location committee, comprised of members outside of the Tidewater
region.
The new committee recommended the girls school go to
Tappahannock, and the boys school go to Fredericksburg, rather
than Warsaw. The committee recommended a second boys school
be located near Urbanna—when and if funds became available.
The day before the Diocesan trustees met to vote on the matter,
the proposed school site land in Fredericksburg was sold to
someone else, leaving Urbanna as the top choice. The trustees
voted unanimously to build an all-girls school (St. Margaret’s)
in Tappahannock and, on a 9-4 vote, to build an all-boys school
(Christchurch) near Urbanna.
Although the Urbanna Board of Trade recommended the
school be located at Malvern Hill, just west of town, they agreed
to donate $4,200 to help purchase the property where the school
now sits, on Route 33 adjacent to Christ Episcopal Church. The
Board of Trade wrote in its minutes “the school will have a strong
economic and social impact on our town and county for generations to come.”
It happened right here in Rivah country!

Old Tobacco Warehouse
Virginia Street

The restored James Mill
Scottish Factor Store or “Old
Tobacco Warehouse” is used
as the Urbanna Town Visitor Center. For years, it was
thought to have been used to
store hogsheads of tobacco.
In 1958, The Association for
the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities sponsored a study of
the building. Historian Wesley
Newton Laing’s research revealed that the structure was
not a warehouse but, rather, a
Scottish Colonial merchant factor store, where tobacco could
be traded for finished goods
from Europe. (Courtesy of Emily Chowning. Excerpt from “Images of America Urbanna” by

August 25 concert to mark
quarter-century milestone
IRVINGTON—The U.S. Air Force Heritage of America band will bring the night alive in Irvington for the 25th
time in 25 years on August 25. The concert will begin at
7 p.m. on the Irvington Commons off King Carter Drive
in Irvington.
The full concert band, some 40 strong, is the largest
of the eight ensembles that the U.S. Air Force fields to
entertain military and civilian audiences alike.
“This concert has been dubbed ‘The 25th on the 25,’”
said Jill Worth, who directs the concert series for the
Irvington Village Improvement Association (VIA). “This
year marks the 25th time that the U.S. Air Force has entertained Irvington audiences.”
A Moment’s Peace
The concert band has a rich history of inspiring hearts
and minds and building and sustaining American patriotism. In recent years, its area of geographical operational
responsibility has expanded from six to 15 states, requiring the band to cover far more ground.
“We value our relationship with the citizens of
Irvington and the Northern Neck and love playing for
what is always an appreciative audience,” said musical
resources specialist Ray Landon. “So we’re looking forward to the ‘25th on the 25th.’”
She encourages concert-goers to pack a picnic, bring
tables, chairs and blankets and come early to get a good
spot.

Essex County
History
Essex County’s history in written form dates
from Captain John Smith’s visit during the
winter of 1607-08, when he wrote of the
“excellent, pleasant, fertile, and navigable”
Rappahannock Valley.
In 1645 Bartholomew Hoskins patented
the Tappahannock site, which became
known at various times as Hobbs His Hole,
Hobb’s Hole, the short-lived New Plymouth,
and the Indian name Tappahannock. The
port town was to become a center of commerce during the 17th and 18th centuries,
establishing a crossroads.
The county came into being in 1692 when
Old Rappahannock County, which once
encompassed at least 50 modern counties
in Virginia and West Virginia, was divided
along the river with the north side becoming
Richmond County and the south becoming
Essex.
During Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676, armed
men gathered near Piscataway Creek and
defeated Governor Berkeley’s cavalrymen.
Later they prevailed in the Dragon Swamp,
but eventually English warships and troops
suppressed the uprising. Frontier patrols,
however, were maintained against hostile
northern Indians into the early 1700’s.
The British Stamp Act of 1765 led directly
to the American Revolution, and it was in
Tappahannock that one of the first confron-
seven years before the Boston Tea Party.
The Essex Courthouse contains the
oldest records in Virginia. James B. Slaughter’s history of the area, “Settlers, Southerners, Americans: The History of Essex
County, Virginia 1608–1984,” recounts in
detail the county’s 350-year-old story. The
book is available at the county administrator’s office. Today Essex has a population of
9,989 and Tappahannock is one of the largest commercial centers in the region.

tations occurred.
Leading merchant Archibald Ritchie, who
supported the Stamp Act, was labeled as
“the greatest enemy of his country.” On
February 27, 1766, gentlemen from nine
counties gathered at Leedstown to draft the
“Resolutions” that led Virginians to disobey
Parliament. They also made plans to publicly
humiliate Ritchie and the Scots merchant
Archibald McCall. These events occurred

Gloucester County
History
Exploration of what would become
Gloucester County began soon after 1607
when Jamestown, the first permanent
English settlement in the New World, was
started 25 miles to its south.
Gloucester County was formed in 1651
from York County. It contained Kingston
Parish, which became Mathews County in
1791.
Gloucester was home to several wellknown persons including Pocahontas,
daughter of Indian Chief Powhatan.
According to legend, she petitioned her
father to spare the life of English explorer
Captain John Smith, who was one of the
first white men to see the area in the early
1600s.
Another infamous resident was Nathaniel Bacon who, in 1676, led a force of planters against the Indians. Bacon’s Rebellion
defeated the Indians and then attempted
to make the governor reform colonial policies. His army burned Jamestown and he
briefly controlled the colony before his
death ended the revolt.
Fortified during Bacon’s Rebellion,
Gloucester Point is just across the York
River from Yorktown, site of the British
surrender to end the American Revolution.
Originally called Tyndall’s Point, named
for an early mapmaker, it was renamed
Gloucester Towne and was once the
county seat until it was moved 13 miles

north during the 1700s.
When Jamestown was burned by Bacon
in 1676, the Virginia Executive Council considered moving the state capital
to Tyndall’s Point, but the motion was
rejected. Jamestown remained the state
capital until it was shifted to Williamsburg.
In 1769, the new county seat, Botetourt
Towne (old town Gloucester), was laid out.
It was named for Baron de Botetourt, then
governor of Virginia.
Today, Gloucester is the largest of the
eight counties that make up the Northern
Neck and Middle Peninsula with 34,500
residents.

Lancaster County
History
Indians occupied the Northern Neck
for some 10,000 years before Capt. John
Smith sailed up the Rappahannock River in
1608. The Powhatan Confederate was represented here by the Moraughtacunds and
the Cuttatawomen tribes. A short 43 years
later, Lancaster County was established
from neighboring Northumberland.
Families of notable influence in the social,
political and economic climate of the colonies built magnificent “empires” here, and
family names like Carter and Ball still are
prevalent today.
Robert “King” Carter (1663–1732) of
Corrotoman Plantation (in Weems) was the
son of immigrant John Carter. He acquired
over 300,000 acres with some 1,000
slaves working his various properties.
Married twice, “King” Carter fathered
15 children. Among his descendants were
eight governors of Virginia, three signers of
the Declaration of Independence, two presidents, leader of the confederate armies
Gen. Robert E. Lee, and a Supreme Court
Justice.
Carter is buried alongside his wives at the
church he built near Irvington, Historic Christ
Church.
The Ball family, meanwhile, established
themselves at Millenbeck and Epping Forest. Mary Ball, the mother of George Washington, was born about 1708. The Mary Ball

Mathews County
History
Government
Mathews County was an established shipbuilding center for the
Chesapeake Bay when it broke away
from Gloucester in 1791 to become a
separate county.
About that time, 12 sailing ships
over 20 tons each were built in a single
year in Mathews, which the Chiskiake
Indians had called Werowocomico.
Between 1790 and 1820, approximately a third of the ships built in Virginia came from Mathews. The sharp,
fast vessels, popularly known as Baltimore Clippers, were built throughout
the Chesapeake Bay region. Before
the War of 1812, these fast ships
were simply known as “Virginia built.”
From 1802 to 1844, Mathews was
an of ficial por t of entr y for the registration and enrollment of ships. During this period, 10,000 vessels called
at the “Por t of East River.” The customs house stood at Williams Whar f
(marker 13), which was a center of
maritime activity until the steamers
quit running in the 1940s.
Cricket Hill, near Gwynn’s Island,
was the site of one of the last naval
engagements of the Revolutionar y
War. In June 1776, Continental forces
bombarded the British fleet and encampment on Gwynn’s Island. Lord
Dunsmore, the last royal governor,

British rule in Virginia.
When water was the highway, boats
were the standard means of travel.
The arrival of steamships at Williams
Whar f with cargo from Nor folk, Newpor t News or Baltimore was a daily
highlight.
World War II put most of the steamboat lines out of business. In 1942
the government requisitioned most of
the bay and coastal steamers for service in the war ef for t.
The last remaining steamboat line,
the Old Bay Line, stopped its York River to Baltimore run in 1942. About 20
years later, the Old Bay Line dropped
passenger ser vice between Baltimore
and Nor folk. The steamers stopped
for good in the spring of 1962.
Today Mathews has a population of
9,200 people. While it is the smallest county in the Nor thern Neck

square miles, it has some 367 miles
of shoreline and some of the area’s

Middlesex County
History
Middlesex County was formed around
1669 from Lancaster County, making it
one of the oldest English settlements in
the United States. Many plantation homes
still stand from the Colonial era.
Bordered by the Rappahannock and
Piankatank rivers and the Chesapeake
Bay, much of its history centers around the
water. The town of Urbanna was formed
in 1680 as a center for shipping tobacco
from surrounding plantations.
Urbanna was the county seat until 1852
when it was moved to Saluda. Throughout
the county are homes built in the 1700s.
Wartime stories abound dating back to the
Revolutionary and Civil wars. During these
wars, plantations such as Providence and
Rosegill were bombarded and looted.
Stingray Point near Deltaville gained immortal fame as the spot where Captain
John Smith was nearly killed by a stingray.
Three centuries ago ships from London,
Liverpool, Bristol and Glasgow were common sights on Urbanna Creek. Just across
the creek from Urbanna is Rosegill, one of
the oldest plantations in America. Home to
five generations of Wormeleys, it was for
many years a center of influence in the Colony and a power in the political and commercial life of this area.
During the Civil War, General George Mc-

Clellan formulated a plan of attack to take
Richmond starting from Urbanna. Named
the Urbanna Plan, it was never instituted.
In 1862, several Yankee warships bombarded the town but legend has it that
the only thing the Yanks killed was an old
hare. One of the cannonballs did hit the old
courthouse, which today is the Middlesex
Woman’s Club building on Virginia St.
During the bombardment, townsfolk congregated on the creek bank at the current
site of the Urbanna Bridge. Legend has it
an old man stood at the hilltop and whenever he saw a flash of a cannon firing would
scream “squat” and the townsfolk would
squat to the ground.

Northumberland County
History
Northumberland County is called the Mother County of the Northern Neck.
Settled by the English in 1648,
Northumberland was officially established
by an act of the Burgesses in Jamestown
in 1648. It was later divided into three additional counties, Lancaster, Richmond and
Westmoreland Counties.
At its heart is Heathsville, the county seat.
Located between the headwaters of the Coan
and the Great Wicomico rivers, in 1679 it was
chosen as the site of the county courthouse.
The building was completed and county justices were moved in 1681.
In 1797, citizens established a 20-acre
town around the courthouse square naming
it in honor of citizen leader John Heath who
lived just down the road at Springfield, an historic plantation mansion still standing and occupied today.
In 1992, the National Register of Historic
Places designated Heathsville an Historic District, along with the original courthouse and
tavern, now a restaurant, gift shop and museum. The courthouse square also includes a
blacksmith shop, transportation museum, old
jail and carriage house.
Northumberland was once dependent
upon tobacco as its major cash crop and currency. Later, most of its residents relied on
the water for their livelihoods. Today, there are
many charter boat captains. And cruises, like
those to Tangier and Smith Island, are major
dustries on the people of this region.
With more than 556 miles of scenic shoreline, more than 12,300 call Northumberland
County home.

Richmond County
History
Known as the Gateway to the Northern
Neck, Richmond County was established
in 1692 from the old Rappahannock
County.
Originally explored by Captain John Smith
in 1607–1608, the county was settled in
1640 when people migrated up from settlements below the Rappahannock River.
It was presumably named after the First
Duke of Richmond, cousin to both King William III and Queen Mary. One of the early
settlers was Colonel Moore Fauntleroy,
who patented land in the county in 1650.
The first county seat was thought to
be at the mouth of Little Carter’s Creek,
then moved to Naylors, an early river settlement. The seat moved inland in 1730
and renamed the Richmond County Courthouse. In 1831, the name was changed to
Warsaw in sympathy with the Polish struggle for independence. Warsaw was incorporated as the county’s only town in 1947.
The Downing Bridge was built across the
Rappahannock River in 1927, connecting
Richmond County to Essex and opening up
travel to and from the Northern Neck. The
bridge replaced 200 years of ferry service
and was dedicated by Sen. Thomas Downing of the Northern Neck.
Richmond County was home of the last
president elected under the Articles of
Warsaw. The sheriff’s office can be
reached at 333-3611.

Confederation. In 1788, Judge Cyrus Griffin was elected president of the U.S. Congress Assembly and held that position until
the U.S. Constitution was adopted and his
successor, George Washington, was elected as the first U.S. President.
William A. Jones gained recognition for
Richmond County in 1916 when, in supporting self-government for all people, he
authorized a bill that guaranteed independence for the Philippines. In 1926, the
people of the Philippines erected a memorial at Jones’ gravesite in the St. John’s
Episcopal Churchyard in Warsaw.

Westmoreland County
History
Established in 1653 by the colonial government in Jamestown, Westmoreland
County was named for a British shire.
The county’s most significant contributions to history include its fostering of
more statesmen than any other county
in the country, and for the Leedstown
Resolutions.
Considered the forerunner of the Declaration of Independence, the Leedstown
Resolutions were signed in February,
1766. Prepared by Richard Henry Lee,
the document was signed by 115 patriots who bound themselves together “To
Prevent The Execution of The Stamp Act.”
Stratford Hall was the boyhood home
of Richard Henry Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, signers of the Declaration of
Independence.
General Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee
was a Revolutionary War hero and served
as one of General George Washington’s
most trusted officers. He is the father of
Robert E. Lee.
General Robert E. Lee was born in
1807 at Stratford Hall. Lee was a colonel in the U. S. Army when the Civil War
broke out. Offered the command of the
Union Army, Lee declined because he
“could take no part in an invasion” of his
homeland.
