We are pleased to offer you a free publication that is written, produced, printed and mailed by local people from Prince William, Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties.

We want to introduce or reintroduce residents, recent and long-time, to the wonderful merchants, professionals and organizations that serve the area. 2. Suppporting the businesses that already exist in the greater Haymarket area is the best way to keep the local taxes low and provide more needed area jobs. When people from Haymarket shop local businesses, we all win! 3. We want to contribute to maintaining the sense of community and fellowship that Haymarket has enjoyed, especially now that the area is growing rapidly.

A Crossroad Redefined Haymarket, Virginia
I
f you’re reading this, chances are that you are a resident, a business owner or consumer of today’s thriving, versatile and growing community of Haymarket, Virginia. What many of the current and future residents of Haymarket may not know or come to realize is that the town was established in 1799 and was known as “The Crossroads” used for trade by settlers as a route from Pennsylvania to the Carolinas. Nor, might they know that during the civil war, almost the entire town, save for a couple of buildings to include St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, burned to the ground, in 1862. It wasn’t until after General Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, that Haymarket started its road to recovery and in 1882 became the second town established in Prince William County. That historical anecdote in itself, might not be of long lasting interest to many unless you are a civil war trivia buff but Haymarket’s location in the county today, makes its inherent value as desirable now as in colonial times for many of the same reasons.
September 2010
As I began to gather data and general information to share about the intriguing origins of this charming and historic town, I discovered that the term associated with Haymarket, “crossroad” is more than a quaint nickname. It is infused in its’ history and denotes a correct representation of its present development and its future impact on the surrounding areas as well. I decided to delve into the meaning(s) of the term “crossroad” as defined in Webster’s New World dictionary. To me, it seems right on point and might have been written as a concise description of exactly what and how the town’s establishment has evolved from and to. Specifically: Cross’road’ 1. n-a road that crosses another 2. n-a) the place where roads intersect b) any center of activity, etc…c) a time of important changes or decisions. If Mr. Webster “was” describing the current climate of Haymarket, he goes to the head of the class. Location and accessibility, to and from, is perhaps one of the most important driving factors to the success of establishing any

stable entity, whether it be a business, a destination only tourist attraction or a residential community. In the early 1990’s The Walt Disney Companies recognized the importance of a self-sustaining location and proposed building a new Disney’s America theme park there. This proposal did not come to fruition and the area is now part and parcel of Dominion Valley (Country Club), but the point here is the acknowledgement of a desired location. And until then, some might say Haymarket was Prince William County’s best kept secret. Cliché or not….HAYMARKET has come a long way baby! What started as an abandoned Iroquois Indian hunting path has evolved into a vital access point to the surrounding counties of Loudoun, Fauquier, Warren etc., is an integral cog for Prince William County’s development plans. The demographics for Greater Haymarket, which for the purpose of this discussion, includes approximately a one mile radius from the intersection of Washington & Jefferson Streets, denotes a

number of approximately 14,000 residents at present. That approximate number includes Single Family, Townhouse and Multi-family dwellings with the split being almost equal between town homes and single family homes and only about 400 multi-family.
The Haymarket of today has expelled those questionable impressions and replaced them with a more current snapshot. Now we think of franchised conveniences, leisure amenities, choices in lifestyle from condos to farms and structured growth making it a great place
at the intersection of Routes 15 and 55, Haymarket is a “pebble’s toss” to exit #40, off interstate highway 66. Considered part of Northern Virginia, it happens to be in one of the highest income counties of the United States and shares consumers with its adjacent neighbor, Gainesville.
“Haymarket’s location in Prince William County today, makes its inherent value as desirable now as in colonial times” Ironically, in the early growth stages, “Haymarket” suffered the stigma of more urban communities asking “ Hay- who?... Hay- where?” What do they do out there? Grow hay? The perception was that, Haymarket was too far out, only offered rural agricultural, country living options and perhaps was not “a very sophisticated” place per se. One might Haymarket?....

to live. As a horse enthusiast/farm owner myself, who has been known to take a sip or two of fine wine (with dinner of course), I can thankfully say that you can find a relaxing winery or equine event to attend within minutes of Haymarket on almost any day! Skirting the Blue Ridge vista, Haymarket provides the best of both worlds, cosmopolitan and country. Located in the northwest corner of Prince William County, almost exactly
The estimated median household income (as reported in 2008 from Wickepedia) was over $95,000 as compared to over $61,000 overall in Virginia. Tax record stats suggest that the majority of Haymarket’s growth was between the years 2000-2005. Interestingly, between the years 1995 -2005, over 3,500 new residences were built in Haymarket. Of that number, only 269 of them during 1995-1999, and after 2006, 1,500 new residences were built.

In addition to many new, privately held, small service businesses, restaurants, etc. (www.townofhaymarket.org), in May of 2008, the Haymarket Heathcote Health Center opened its doors to serve the community and houses a 24/7 emergency room, a myriad of doctors offices, MRI, Mammogram & Blood labs as well. (Information Non-Emergency # 571-261-3250*Emergency # 571-2613400) There is a new hospital that has been proposed to be sited near/next to the Health Center with public comments that were due by July 30th being reviewed for submission to the regulatory agencies. The overflow of commuters and residents coming from Gainesville and points south, north and east into Haymarket will gain easier access from the Gainesville interchange that is in its’ third phase of approvals. (The plan is to have Linton Hall road go “over” Route 29). And although the “Rural Crescent” of Prince William County is not embraced by the entire community, its geographical configuration is what offers Haymarket country living at its fingertips (117,000
acres set aside for development zoned agricultural). Want to partake of the small town charm ? You can do that too. Haymarket offers summer concerts, a new “Restaurant Crawl”, an Annual Bicycle Rodeo, a summertime Farmer’s Market and on September 18, 2010, “Haymarket Day” will showcase service vendors, craftsmen and artists for your enjoyment. Spending an afternoon at the Haymarket Museum might not be a bad idea either. From my professional perspective, this fortuitous location should not be understated. The most important factor to consider when evaluating a place to call home is something that hasn’t changed over the years…its location, location, location! It affects every aspect of life. This “CROSSROADS” encased in Haymarket, VA has a track record of promoting and sustaining enterprise, real estate growth and demand and residential support services within reach of all things “shiny and new” and more simple pleasures. Haymarket has it all….Haymarket ROCKS! Haymarket is the bomb! You
won’t hear anyone asking “Where is Haymarket” going forward. Pat yourselves on the back, breathe out a sigh of pride and contentment and celebrate the diverse offerings that this area provides for you and your families. Special thanks to the offices of Mr. John Stirrup, Supervisor, PWC; Gainesville District Demographics Office, PWC and my friend and fellow agent, Chris Ann Cleland.

Haymarket History
Remembering By: John T. Toler
‘Red House,’ the Skinker Family, and Early Haymarket
Haymarket’s strategic location at the intersection of the northsouth Old Carolina Road (U.S. 15), and the Gap Road (U.S. 55), going east-to-west has always offered great opportunities. The little crossroads was once known as “Red House” for one of the earliest commercial structures located there. As early as 1622, the Carolina Road was an active Indian trail, used first by the Susquehanna Indians, until pushed out of the region by the more warlike Iroquois. A century later, after the Indians agreed to stay to the west of the Blue Ridge, commerce passing through Red House increased dramatically on the Carolina Road. The road ran from New York to Georgia, and trade with nearby towns, as well as neighboring states, contributed to the economic activity benefiting Red House. The actual “Red House” was an “ordinary,” or rustic inn, located at the intersection of the Carolina Road and Gap Road. Built in the mid-1700s century, it is believed to have been a large brick structure with chimneys at either end, and a porch across the front. One of the early property owners at Red House was Capt. Samuel Skinker (d. 1753), who purchased Green Hill Plantation from Dr. John Savage in 1734. It is unlikely that Capt. Skinker spent much time at Green Hill, as he had numerous land holdings in other areas, and never left his principal residence, “Millbank,” near Port Conway in King George County, Va. Upon his death, ownership of Green Hill passed to his youngest son William, born in 1738. Only 14 years old when his father died, it would be years before William came to claim his inheritance in the Piedmont. After first studying for the ministry in England, he returned to Virginia around 1760, settling in Norfolk, where he married and started a clock making business. At the start of the American Revolution, residents of the coastal 8

cities were subjected to bombardment by British warships, and many moved inland. Among those who fled north on the Carolina Road was William Skinker, his wife and young daughter, Mary. Green Hill would become their permanent home. During the Revolution, no battles were fought in the area of Red House, but there were numerous troop movements, particularly on the Carolina Road. In January 1779, English prisoners captured during the Battle Haymarket Lifestyle

HAYMARKET Happenings
Where Business Meets Community By: Jerole Nelson
From the Bull Run Mountain to Lee Highway and beyond, the HGBA (Haymarket Gainesville Business Association) is a key gathering place for area association meeting goers. We are fortunate to be living and working in a region offering something of interest to everybody. Our mix of businesses range from successful at-home entrepreneurs to multi-million dollar enterprises, from cupcakes to fitness, from clowns to banks; we have all this along with a rich history dating back to the 1700s. Our members enjoy a myriad of free-time options and the workforce can brag about a gain of more than 270,000 jobs in the Washington area since 2000 — the 2nd greatest number of any metropolitan region in the country, according to the 2010 Greater Washington Initiatives Regional Report. In 2007, the decades-old HGBA reorganized to meet the ever-changing needs of residents and business due to growth and the astonishing potential of the area. HGBA rebranded, got up to speed with current technology and tripled its’ membership. We offer a forum for information sharing and contribute to community projects that positively impact businesses and residents. HGBA is a 501 (c) (6) non-profit all volunteer organization. We make that work for the membership through our board leadership and members that generously donate their time. There are no monthly meeting costs, HGBA charges one very low annual fee based on the company size and type. We get around - HGBA changes the monthly meeting venues and caterers every month. In a recent member survey, over 70% respondents found tours of new and innovative business valuable second only to networking. Members say that learning about new business ranked number one as the most rewarding benefit of HGBA. We are not an “Island Association.” We also expand our reach by coordinating joint events with The Prince William Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Warrenton Chamber of Commerce. Our members also enjoy getting the news first. Through our newsletters, and monthly speaker series, members (Left to Right) Jen Robinson, past Board Vice President; Amelia Stansell, President HGBA; Tim Mauk, Treasurer HGBA; Prem Grewal, member. stay informed. Topics include how to grow your business, HGBA booth at Haymarket Day. networking, workshops, non-profit community activities, the political landscape, local development and more. This past year we have been honored to have Congressman Connolly, Supervisor Stirrup, and Delegate Jackson in addition to local business and community leaders. Several of our board members are graduates of Leadership Prince William, most are company owners and all are involved with at least two business organizations or community groups. When you become an HGBA member, you join business owners from a wide variety of disciplines in one strong, committed voice. We meet every third Tuesday of the month from 4-6 pm. Alterations to this schedule will be in our newsletter and posted to the calendar at HGBA.biz. From the new meeting venues each month to expert speakers, with HGBA you will get noticed and stay informed. The HGBA is the fastest growing professional association in the area. Whether you are grooming the area pooches or grooming tomorrow’s leaders, we want to hear your story. Join us, and we’ll help you go places. Find out more at HGBA.biz. 12 12

Deeply Rooted in History and Wine By: Krysta Norman
The Winery at La Grange celebrates an abundance of history, award winning wines and playful ghosts at their upcoming four-year anniversary. Inviting guests to a unique getaway near the Blue Ridge Mountains since September of 2006, historic La Grange is a 20-acre farm winery that produces, processes and bottles their own wine. Origins trace back to the 1600’s provide that La Grange has been a desired tract of land for four centuries and since 1790 entertaining visitors in the charming three-story Manor House. Blessed with captivating individuals for hundreds of years, some of the wineries most frequent visitors are its ghosts.
Manor House, Winery at La Grange
La Grange has changed ownership, size and purpose a great deal since its origination from Robert “King” Carter’s Bull Run tract in the 1600’s. The Manor House created by George Green in 1790 barely survived its many transformations over the years, but its character is still vibrant. This allowed Chris Pearmund (Winemaker and Managing Partner) to see the full potential that La Grange could offer. La Grange is now converted from a forgotten farm with dilapidated buildings to a successful winery with a remarkable Manor House. “If I brought all of this together, La Grange can be a place where we focus on history and in wine that is more old world style,” Pearmund had said in 2005. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines grow quietly beside the entertaining Manor House that hosts the Tasting Room and Benoni’s Lounge. With a large u-shaped bar, the Tasting Room offers guests a chance to try a variety of their award winning wines like Pinot Gris, Fletcher’s Chardonnay, Viognier, Rose of Merlot, Cuvee Blanc, Norton, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Meritage, Tannant, Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and a Port styled wine called Snort. After the tasting, settle down with a glass in Benoni’s Lounge located in the cellar. Beamed ceilings, low lighting, stone and brick patterned walls make this an ideal spot to unwind. The Manor House also has light-filled rooms furnished upstairs. Enjoy a seat near the window overlooking the vines or couch near the original fireplaces. Share views of the vines, the grounds, and the Barrel Room views from the indoor porch on the backside of the house. A stone walkway lined by 20-foot tall boxwoods lead to The Barrel Room. The Barrel Room provides a special place to savor wine and conversations among friends. Tables and chairs sit in between the barrels, decorated by personalized plaques of their owners. When the weather is pleasant, relax on the outside patios or lawn, speckled with assorted seating, fire pit and a stone fireplace. The Blue Ridge Mountains hug the vineyard making this an ideal place for sunset watching.

Barrel Room
While most wineries provide good wine and a tranquil setting, La Grange is exclusive in its claim to ghosts. Friendly and mischievous this collection of lost souls has protected La Grange for centuries. They say that a female servant stands at the front door to welcome guests. Mr. Jessup, prefers the original house, which hosts Benoni’s Lounge. A young girl resides in the upstairs parlor, and demands a window view. “We decorate trees in different themes during the Holiday’s and place one in each room. A children’s themed tree was decorated and placed in the window of the upstairs parlor. At night, the tree would be perfectly placed in the window, but by morning, the tree had been knocked over. This went on for days. We finally decided to move the tree out of the window, and it has not been knocked down since. She didn’t want the window blocked,” explained Adale Henderson the Special Events Manager. Benoni E. Harrison purchased La Grange in 1837 and lived there until his death in 1869. Benoni has a strong presence throughout the house and the staff at La Grange believes he
Benoni’s Lounge
helped guide the restoration leading them to name the cellar Benoni’s Lounge. The most interesting ghostly encounters come from Benoni and his family. As La Grange was being renovated in 2006 a curious neighboring family stopped by to see the changes. The front door was locked. The parents left the children and walked to the back to try another door. As they tried to open the back door, they both heard a piano playing inside. Assuming it was their children, they entered the house through a side door that was unlocked. The parents called for the children, and the music stopped abruptly. As they searched the house they found the front door locked and the children still standing outside. The children asked the parents where they found the piano. The four of them searched the house and no piano was found. Further research into the house found that Benoni willed to his nephew, a number of items to include “the piano in the parlor.” Benoni himself made a playful gesture after a massive thunderstorm.

“It was a pretty bad storm; one of the shudders had come loose. It was banging so hard on the window that we thought it was going to break. For safety reasons we waited until the next morning to secure the shudder to the building. When the employee climbed the ladder to reattach it, the shudder had already been secured. We believe it was Benoni,” Henderson said. Even with all of Benoni’s tomfoolery, the employees at La Grange respect him and his wish to reside in the Manor House. Every night before the staff leaves they pour a single glass of red wine (usually Norton because it is indigenous to Virginia), and place it above the mantel in the Tasting Room as sign of respect for Benoni. La Grange hosts a variety of events for its guests including Extended Hours, In Vino Veritas Spiritus, Movie Nights, Chili and Wine Nights as well as Wine Maker’s Dinners. Extended Hours are on Friday’s all summer long. Come for a tasting, food, wine by the glass or bottle, the winery and patio are open until 8:00pm. Throughout the growing season on Sunday mornings at 11:00am, is In Vino Veritas Spiritus meaning, “in wine is spiritual truth.” Set in Virginia wine country, this sermon draws
truth from many biblical references to wine, grapes, vineyards or the process involved in winemaking. Nestle on the lawn with a blanket, picnic basket, and friends for Movie Night. View a classic movie under the stars on a large screen for two, with two wine glasses and a bottle of their classic wine. Picnic baskets are available with cheese and crackers or an assortment of gourmet food. When autumn settles in stop by for Chili and Wine Night; warm up with tasty chili and wine. Wine Maker’s Dinners are ideal to take part in with someone special. Wines are paired with local fare to create a sophisticated dining experience to be shared. Make sure to visit La Grange September 4-6, for their Anniversary celebration. Remembering four years of success and hoping for many more, this party will include reduced tasting fees, live music, and real artisan jewelry. Attracting history buffs and wine enthusiasts, come experience the Winery at La Grange!

BATTLEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL
football preview By: Michael Tedeschi
Summertime. It serves as the ideal season for vacations, trips to the ballpark, and, for the vivacious football fan, the long wait for football season to begin. With endless glances at a calendar, fans count the days and weeks (and even months) till kickoff takes over all senses. Whether we separate ourselves as Redskins or Cowboys fans, Hokies or Mountaineers, Bobcat enthusiasts or Yellowjacket devotees, the explosion of the immovable object that is the offensive line meeting the unstoppable force that is the defensive front four, the excitement of the double reverse, or the unpredictability of the fumble rolling around the field never ceases to pull us out of our seats. Why expect anything else this season from the Bobcats of Battlefield High School? The Bobcats, under the leadership of Coach Mark Cox, who played quarterback for Virginia Tech from 1981 to 1985, and his talented coaching staff, look to continue off their impressive season last year where they finished with a 12-1 record, including their first playoff win and first regional championship. The season ended in a tough overtime loss to Lake Braddock in the playoffs. In extra time, Lake Braddock was able to muster up a touchdown to counter Battlefield’s field goal score. Battlefield finished 5th in the state in rankings according to Maxpreps.com. Coach Cox is respected by current and former players. Zach Surface, who played linebacker for Cox from 2004 to 2006, always saw his coach as tough but fair. “He wanted you to go out there and prove yourself,” Surface said. “He treated everyone equally, and wanted you to go out there and work hard.” This season will begin a new test for this football team. The Bobcats will start the 2010 season with three consecutive away games, a difficult task for any team. Coming out of that stretch unblemished will be a challenge, but the team seems ready for it. “We’re going to find out quickly from these first three games where we’ll be,” Coach Cox said. “If we play hard like I know we can, we’ll be in contention. It’s tough competition out there.” “The good thing we have right now is these kids expect to be in the playoffs,” continued Cox. “They know what it takes to get there, and they’re going to work hard to make sure they get back there.” The team has set out the goal to win districts again this year, but some stiff competition stands out in front of them. “We want to win districts again this Football continued on Page 20 18

year,” Cox said. “Doing that automatically gets us into the playoffs. From there, we can build off that. Tough teams are standing in our way though.” The first game of the season, away against a talented Lake Taylor squad, seems to be one of the games the team is looking forward to most. Coach Cox will look to the team to utilize its tandem of running backs, Nagee Jackson and all around utility player Bobo Beathard, to put up points for his team. A defensive line featuring Zavier Stringfellow will look to disrupt opponents and their backfields. Jackson is especially ready for the season and what is expected of him. “We’re going to take this season one game at a time,” Jackson said. “Everyone here wants to win states ultimately, but we’ll start with districts and go from there. I enjoy trying to be a leader on the field. It’s a good feeling out there.” Beathard has been working hard with teammates in the offseason to help reach his goal of repeat district champs. “That’s what I want to do,” he said. “I want to help this team win … be district champs again. We’ve got the team to do it. It’s all a matter of working hard together.” He added that he was looking forward to the Lake Taylor opening game and the away game against Osbourn – a team he thinks will be a good match-up. Two-a-days began for the Bobcats on August 2nd. The intensity was apparent from the start. On one end of the practice field, the offensive linemen were doing hand and feet drills, a coach heard yelling, “Run them over, hit them hard, and run
them over!” Over on the other side another coach shouted, “That’s fast, but I’ve seen faster from you!” As practice continues throughout the month of August, the team will begin to gel more and more and show of promise to be an exciting season. “We’re getting ready,” Cox said. “And we’ll be ready. This team is good.” So, come on out football fans of Haymarket. It’s a great way to spend an evening: watching live football with a talented group of great kids who are hungry and eager to build off of last season’s success. The game results for August 26 and September 2 against Lake Taylor and Potomac respectfully were too late for this publication. 20

PRINCE WILLIAM CHAMBER
A Vitalizing Force in the Community By: Emily Guerrero
June 17, 2010 was a historic day for the residents and businesses of the Prince William region. On this day, members of the Prince William County-Greater Manassas and the Prince William Regional Chambers of Commerce voted to merge, forming a new Prince William Chamber of Commerce to serve the entire region. For the first time, the vibrant neighborhoods, towns and cities located within and adjacent to Prince William County have a unified Chamber promoting a strong economy and high quality of life in our community. As the newest and largest Chamber of Commerce in Northern Virginia, the Prince William Chamber is well-positioned to elevate the stature of Prince William in the Washington DC metropolitan area. The Chamber is a vitalizing force, with programs that energize the local economy and provide opportunities for businesses to get involved in the community. Chamber activities such as “Tools-for-School” and “Winter Warm-up” drives provide children in need with back-to-school basics and warm clothing. The Annual Valor Awards recognize public safety heroes for the tremendous work that they do. Also, the Not-for-Profit Council of the Prince William Chamber provides a forum for charitable organizations to share best practices and build their network of donors and volunteers. Through its government affairs efforts, the Prince William Chamber also advocates for legislative solutions that enhance the economic environment and quality of life in Prince William. For instance, the Chamber is a vocal advocate for the development of a hospital in western Prince William. The creation of a unified Chamber of Commerce strengthens these efforts, providing greater resources and a unified vision for keeping Prince William a great place to live, work and play. For companies in the Prince William region — which stretches from the rolling peaks of the Bull Run mountain range to the scenic shores of the Occoquan River—the Prince William Chamber of Commerce offers unprecedented access to resources for business success. Membership in the Chamber is a pathway to increased consumer confidence, valuable B2B connections, a voice in public policies and a stronger connection to the community.
Chamber offers offer both regional and localized programming. For businesses in the in the Gainesville-Haymarket area, this means ongoing access to services at the Heritage Village office and popular programs such as the MB3 (Monthly BusinessBuilding Breakfast), held the first Friday morning of every month at Uno’s Chicago Grill at Atlas Walk. This localized approach makes it easier for busy members in Gainesville and Haymarket to take advantage of their membership in the Prince William Chamber. “Having an office in Gainesville, staffed with people who manage events in this area, helps the Chamber keep its finger on the pulse of western Prince William. As a small business owner, with limited time to get out to networking events and business growth seminars, it also helps me feel more connected, like I would be in a smaller Chamber,” says Jamie Gorman, founder of Sigma College of Small Business, Inc. in Haymarket. In addition to the MB3 breakfasts, the Gainesville office has pioneered other business-building events such as Network@ Noon, a twice monthly round-table discussion where Chamber members gather to discuss common business issues. Attendees are able to share ideas and find solutions for problems such as fitting social media into their business plan or finding and keeping great employees. “The communities of Gainesville and Haymarket are a vital part of our Chamber and of unifying the business community, and we are committed to being part of their success,” says Tim Jackson, Chairman of the Prince William Chamber and President of MDA Technologies Group, LLC, “The Prince William Chamber offers an excellent environment for business of every size and industry to succeed. We will continue to reach out to businesses across the region, making sure that companies located from across the Prince William region will find a variety of quality programming convenient to their location. For more information about the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, visit www.pwchamber.org or call (703) 753-7436. Readers are also encouraged to call or drop by the Gainesville office located at 7450 Heritage Village Plaza, Suite 202.
