LOCAL SPOTLIGHT
BERKELEY PLANTATION A Destination for Local Tourists By Averill P. Byrd
S
o many locals make the mistake of never visiting historic landmarks in their hometowns. But sometimes, you stumble upon a gem – a place that surprises you and offers a unique glimpse into the long and complex history of a place, and even of the country, that you just can’t pass up the opportunity. One such place is Berkeley Plantation in Charles City, just 40 minutes outside of Richmond. It has been described by guests as “a hidden treasure,” a place where history “comes alive.” The magnificently restored property sits on the bank of the James River, with a three-story mansion and sprawling grounds and gardens. Here, you step back in time as tour guides in period costumes welcome you to the estate. They take you through the historic events that took place in this space — from the first official Thanksgiving and the birth of a man who would be among those who signed the Declaration of Independence to the occupation by Union troops during the Civil War, the composition of “Taps” and Berkeley’s own winding journey to its restoration. It came to the ownership of the Jamieson family though their patriarch John, who

had served as a drummer boy in the Union army and had once encamped at Berkeley. Decades later, he chanced upon the notice of sale and purchased the property with the vision of someday restoring it. This landmark boasts of a deep connection not only to Virginia’s past, but also to its present community and future development. And while people come from far and wide to visit Berkeley, the local community has a special place in their heart. Its current owner is John’s grandson Jamie, who grew up on the property and desires to continue a close relationship with Berkeley’s neighbors and friends. This includes offering free admission to Charles City residents, offering progressive tours with nearby Shirley and Edgewood Plantations, working with volunteers to help guests with research and partnering with the Chickahominy Tribe to mount the annual Virginia Thanksgiving Festival, which they have done for the past 50 years. Each season brings a slew of exciting events. Every Tuesday from June through August, children 16 and younger are admitted for free. There are also Nature Hunts across the grounds and along the James for families, space for picnics, a chance to “meet” historic figures who’ve graced Berkeley, a corn maze and pumpkin patch in the fall, seasonal special rates for homeschooling families, ghost tours at Halloween, Christmas events and workshops, and much more — catering to visitors from all walks of life and all corners of the globe (including your favorite four-legged friends). How many slow Saturdays have you spent looking for something fun, new and interesting to do? For a short drive and a small fee, you will find, as John Jamieson did, that Berkeley is not only a place worth visiting, but one that is worth returning to.

Photo: Jesse Bennett Editor’s Note: Fall is, perhaps, the most beautiful time of year throughout Powhatan. It’s the perfect time of year to get out on the backroads and discover the county. On its website, Powhatan County provides an itenary for an informative tour. The following article, which details the stops along the way, was first published in the Powhatan Shopper in March, 2015.

A Three-Hour Tour Back in Time by Steve Cook
W
hether you’re new to the county or a lifelong resident, chances are there are many historical sites, and other attractions with which you are not familiar. On its website, the county provides the details for an informative and enjoyable three-hour driving
tour. Of course, it’s your tour and your car, so you can feel free to start and stop wherever you wish. However, if you follow the county’s suggested tour and take a somewhat leisurely approach, you should be able to take in the sights and the history within about three to four hours. You can find the tour and map at PowhatanVA.gov — search for “driving”. In keeping with the route provided online, the tour starts at Powhatan Courthouse Village, centered at 3880 Old Buckingham Rd. Since this is somewhat centrally located, no matter where in the country you might live, this a good place to begin your tour. The courthouse, completed in 1849, was designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, who was viewed by many as America’s greatest architect of the mid-19th century. The building features Greek Revival style architecture. Behind the courthouse sits the old jail, which now houses the county’s historical society and features a small museum. The Powhatan County Historical Society is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Just a short ways from the Village, you’ll find stop number three on the tour — Nichol’s Store. As you approach, you may feel you’re driving on to the set of a Western movie. The old store served the community from 1920 until 1996. Currently, the site is used for antiques auctions. If you have never been to this somewhat off-the-beaten-path site, you’re in for somewhat of a surprise. Stop number five take you even further back in time. French’s Tavern (6100 Old Buckingham Rd.) was built between 1730 and 1734. Thomas Jefferson once owned this property. It was named for Hugh French, who operated a tavern here for 28 years. The tavern is now on the National Register of Historic Places and is now a private residence. Several other stops on the driving tour are also on the National Register of Historic Places, including Mosby Tavern, Bellmead Mansion, and Provost, and it would surely enhance your enjoyment of the tour if you did a bit of research prior to starting the drive. For instance, did you know that one of the spots was once a world-class spa, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy the healing waters of a sulfur spring? Or that another stop on the tour is deemed the spot where, after the Civil War, Robert E. Lee wrote letters urging Southerners to put the past behind them and to work towards reunification of the nation? There’s so much history to see throughout the county. Now would be the perfect time to get the family together, hop in the car and discover Powhatan.

Porcupine Sliders Porcupine Sliders are healthy, mouth-watering turkey burgers, high in protein, with just the right amount of spices and a kick of sweet cranberries, all served on small whole-wheat rolls. The addition of brown rice to the burger mixture creates a prickly look like little porcupines – thus their name. Porcupine Sliders are a delicious, nutritious, and appetizing way to get kids to eat more healthily. The simple ingredients and easy preparation makes them a favorable choice for a quick menu idea that kids will enjoy! The recipe was the grand prize winner in the South Education Center Alternative (SECA) School recipe challenge.

Burr of the Moment
Photo: Joseph Llanes
Bill Burr is an American comedian or a comedian from the North American Union, depending on when you read this. He grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts and did fairly poorly in school, despite the fact that he applied himself. Known for his recurring roles on Breaking Bad and the second season of Chappelle’s Show, Bill developed a comedic style of uninformed logic that has made him a regular with Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon. One of the most popular comedy podcasts on the web, Bill’s Monday Morning Podcast, is an off-the-cuff, twice-weekly rant that has become a fan favorite. . 7p.m. / Tickets $37-$42 / 6 N Laurel St./ AltriaTheater.com

Who’s Up For Some Greek Tragedy? In a story that is as contemporary as it is classical, this famed Sophoclean tragedy, Antigone, explores the calamity produced by placing a headstrong young woman against an autocratic political tyrant. The story may be straightforward and simple, but the themes of power, family love, and defiance are certainly complex.
