Slow road to forming Powhatan County In spring 1607, Captain Christopher Newport led a small band of adventurers from Jamestown on a voyage up Powhatan’s River, now called the James River. On the third day, the group sailed to a place occupied by the Arrohattoc Indians, one of the tribes ruled by the Indian chief Powhatan. The explorers became the first Englishmen to set foot on the soil Deed book from the clerk’s office that was to become Henrico County.

In 1634, Virginia was divided into eight shires, or counties, one being Henrico, which included the land that would one day form Powhatan County.

In 1728, the first petition to form a new county was presented to the legislature and granted, resulting in the formation of Goochland County out of all the land above the fall line, indefinitely west. The land was separated into two parishes: all north of the James River became

Northam Parish, all the land south of the river became Southam Parish.

In 1748, the inhabitants south of the James River petitioned the legislature and all of that land, comprised of Littleton and Southam parishes, became a new county called Cumberland. The seat of government sat in session at Mosby’s Tavern near Deep Creek, a structure still standing at the corner of Old Tavern Road and U.S. Route 60.

In 1777, amidst the tense climate of the 13 colonies at war with Great Britain, a petition to the General Assembly led to another division and the formation of Powhatan County.

A seat of government central to the new division was set on Ligon’s land at the head of Fine Creek. It was to become the town of Scottville, the present Powhatan Courthouse Village.

In 1850, a small portion of Chesterfield County was annexed, creating the current boundaries of Powhatan County.

Naming Powhatan County Powhatan County burst forth from the first acts of the Virginia Commonwealth in 1777 as fiercely as the first shot was fired at Concord, Massachusetts. Powhatan represented a name as far removed from former practices of naming places as possible.

The legislators were determined to renounce any suggestion of allegiance to England, members of the royal party or places. The most awesome of names came to mind - that of the most fierce warrior Powhatan, who, numerous times, had resisted the incursion of the English settlers upon the shores of his mighty river, so named in his honor - the Powhatan - that river which today is called the James River.

Powhatan Historical Society Two retired school teachers, Dorothy Cosby and Helen Lawton, started the Powhatan Historical Society in 1975. The society sought to preserve and present Powhatan County’s history through the acquisition of manuscripts, printed source materials and artifacts relating to the county’s history.

Other significant acts performed by the group were: placing a bronze plaque at Derwent, Robert E. Lee’s post-war sanctuary; taking on several projects and duties for the county’s Bicentennial Celebration in 1977; securing a Coat-of-Arms; sponsoring many illustrious guest speakers at the society’s meetings; Photo by Laura McFarland receiving permission from the coun- Powhatan Historical Society meets to discuss preserving Corinth Church. ty’s board of supervisors to use the Old Jail as the society headquarters in February 1994 and renovating it; offering college scholarships to local students through the years; planning the Powhatan County 225th Anniversary Celebration in May 2002; dedicating a permanent Historic Garden exhibit in June 2006 behind the Old Jail as part of the Jamestown 2007 celebration; beginning a cemetery inscription project in 2007; acquiring Grace Episcopal Church and beginning an ongoing preservation project there, and leading the charge for a community effort to preserve Corinth Church.

The Powhatan County Clerk of the Court’s Office has a wealth of information for those wishing to know more about the people and property in the county’s past.

The office has 897 deed books, the oldest dating to the county’s founding in 1777. The clerk’s office has been slowly working to restore and digitize the county’s oldest and most at risk record books, and so far, 12 books have been restored, said Teresa Dobbins, clerk of the circuit court.

In addition to the deed books, visitors can also look at Powhatan’s will books, land books, chancery books, old board of supervisors books, ledgers on vagrants and the mentally disabled, and discharge books, she said. All of these are public record. Fees apply to reproduce or copy the images.

Did you know?

Powhatan County is divided by the east-west highway known as either Route 60 or Anderson Highway. Route 60 was renamed the James A. Anderson Memorial Highway in 1969. Anderson served as chairman of the Highway Commission in Virginia from 1941 to 1957, and under his direction, the George P. Coleman Bridge, the Rappahannock Bridge, and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel were built, and 12,000 miles of secondary roads were hard-surfaced.

In 1913, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors approved and appropriated $325 to pay the expenses of 38 former veterans to attend the 50th anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Gettysburg.

The first traffic light in the county was installed in the Flat Rock area in 1993, and a second one was installed at the intersection of Routes 60 and 522 in 1994.

The Huguenot Springs Hotel and Spa were incorporated in 1846 and, during its heyday, included a hotel, a spring house with bathing facilities and cottages lining both sides of the complex.

During the Civil War, it was converted into a convalescent hospital for Confederate wounded. Today on the grounds there stands a marker and communal grave for more than 250 soldiers who died at the hospital. Only the names of 92 are known.

Bodie Vineyards Family-owned and operated since 2008, Bodie Vineyards was the first licensed farm winery in Powhatan County. Owner Clyde Bodie has been making wine for about 40 years, but in the early years he only gave it away to family and friends. When he retired as a civil structure engineer, someone suggested he turn his hobby into a small business and sell his wines.

The winery offers two varieties of wine for sale, a Michaux Blanc and a Rochette Rouge. They can be found at the vineyard during the set open hours. Clyde Bodie also sometimes has a booth at the Powhatan Farmers Market during its regular season.

A pavilion and a winery sit on a hill next to the vineyards. In good weather, people can sit outside and do tastings and enjoy the view. In hotter and colder months they can be inside enjoying their wine.

nspoiled, authentic, rural landscapes are essential to certain film and television projects, and fortunately, parts of Powhatan County fit that bill exactly.

Some of the great rural landscapes in Powhatan have lent themselves to creating a super palette for the artistic needs of films and television shows such as “TURN: Washington’s Spies,” “Lincoln,” “John Adams” and “Field of Lost Shoes,” said Andy Edmunds, director of the Virginia Film Office.

Most of the filming done in the county is consistently done at the State Farm property owned by the Virginia Department of Correction, which cooperates with the Virginia Film Office to make it possible. There is a historic, vacant prison (James River Correctional Center), 3,000 acres of varied farmland, and a backlot with sets from the HBO series, “John Adams.”

The “TURN” TV series is the biggest project recently to use Powhatan County for filming, with three seasons shot at the State Farm and the fourth and final season to start production in late 2016/early 2017.

Having a television series is like having a content manufacturing operation – it touches all parts of the economy, Edmunds said. “ ‘TURN’ in particular has an economic impact over a single season north of $55 million for the entire region,” he said. “It is not just about their great production experience. They have had a great personal experience being here, so much so that many of them have decided to stay here in the off season.”

A character-driven drama set during the Revolutionary War, “TURN” takes viewers behind the battlefront, to a shadow war fought by everyday heroes who vowed to keep their heroics a secret. Based on Alexander Rose’s book “Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring,” “TURN” centers on Abe Woodhull (Jamie Bell), a farmer living in Britishoccupied Long Island, who bands together with a disparate group of childhood friends to form the Culper Ring.

“TURN” has filmed on location at the State Farm property and the Michaux-St. James Chapel.

The State Farm property is the center piece of the show’s story, where crew built Setauket village and church, Abe’s Farm, and the wharf set which played as New York harbor, said Tom Trigo, location manager. The property also provided locations for woodlands, creeks, river, lakes, fields, and country roads.

“It is one of the best period ‘backlots’ in the country,” Trigo said.

The greatest challenge of filming is finding locations free of modern clutter that also contain enough historical elements that allow crew to film scenes with a minimum of disguise or having to erase things digitally, which is no small task these days, Trigo said.

The State Farm site gives crew the freedom to do that, he added.

More than 75 percent of the TV series’ crew are Richmond area locals, more than a few live in Powhatan County, and the rest have stayed in Richmond, he said.

The fourth and final season will film in late 2016/early 2017 and air in 2017.

“Vampires in Virginia” is a feauture film that was shot on location in late summer/early fall 2014 in Virginia, including several spots in Powhatan County. The movie is a modern take on the vampire story, treating vampirism as a virus that people catch, said Kahil Dotay, who is the director, writer and producer. He classified the movie as part horror, thriller and romance.

The locations in Powhatan County where the movie filmed were Chadwick and Son Orchids Inc., Bellville Farm, and county roads such as Old Buckingham Road and Route 522.

“Everyone was welcoming. The Powhatan Chamber of Commerce and the Powhatan Sheriff’s Department were of great help,” Dotay said.

The film is set to have its Virginia premiere in 2017 in the Richmond area.

Powhatan

owhatan County has a good number of locations that host meetings, small parties and other gatherings, but for those big days in people’s lives, there are four events venues that are specially designed to help meet their needs.

In their own way, The Mill at Fine Creek, Fairview Farm Events, War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center and the Cozy Acres Campground Clubhouse each tie in the special rural nature of the county.

While weddings are some of the biggest events they see all year, these event venues are equipped to handle a number of different kinds of social gatherings to make them truly special occasions for the people participating.

Fairview Farm Events is an ADA compliant rustic chic heated and air conditioned barn estate venue for people who want a relaxing farm estate weekend for their wedding or special event.

Although personal touches are encouraged, the barn is decorated professionally by season and comes furnished with antique farm tables, chairs, ceremony seating and a longer list of free props available, all of which can save couples on their budget. Added to that are beautiful chandeliers and bistro lighting in the barn and rustic chic pavilion, which both hold 245 guests.

There are multiple ceremony sites, fire pits and arbors. Photo opportunities are abundant at the farm, such as a large gazebo.

Fairview Farm can accommodate up to 25 onsite guests of the bridal party and family for two Photo courtesy of Fairview Farm Events nights for a wedding weekend. They have also added the new Blanton cottage, which overlooks a large pond. Owners Debora and Blanton Gordon believe that “families who stay together for an event like this will have a memory for a lifetime rather than a fleeting moment.”

Family owned for nearly 100 years, Fairview Farm was transformed into a wedding and event venue in spring 2014 as the owners are passionate about preserving the rural character of the farm for generations to come and making the farm available for couples and families from all over the nation.

A vintage barn on property is also being converted into a 2,000-square-foot retro chic loft apartment for 2017.

The Mill at Fine Creek

This picturesque events venue is named for the gristmill that once operated on the site along the adjoining creek that leads to the James River. Part of the walls of the mill still stand without a roof and act as a beautiful setting for special ceremonies.

outdoor sites that can provide a special backdrop for ceremonies, including the gristmill ruins.

Mark Benusa said his venue offers people who entrust them with their special occasions complete privacy and acute attention to detail.

“Being that it is owner operated and family owned, we really never stop analyzing things and pushing ourselves to be better. If something is brought to our attention, we do our best to address it as quickly as possible,” he said.

The Mill at Fine Creek is also distinguishing itself by adding cottages that can be booked by both guests and members of the public. The 13 cottages are scheduled to open in spring 2017.

War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center Built in 1952, the War Memorial Building was a community center and armory that featured a large gymnasium, lockers, office space, meeting rooms, and a large kitchen. Through the years, it was used for events such as youth basketball games, school events, community dinners, dances, club meetings, auctions, sales, and even a sewing factory.

In May 2014, the building was Photo by Laura McFarland sold to a local group to create the War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center. Its size and array of amenities lend themselves to be used for a variety of events, including theatrical performances, weddings, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, private and public parties, family related events like birthdays and reunions, workshops, and business meetings.

The grand hall can hold an event for up to 300 people, the dining hall and meeting room combined can handle 50 guests, and the board meeting rooms are for up to 20 people. People can rent rooms year round as well as chairs and tables to use there.

The events venue boasts reasonable pricing as well, a great location in the Village area and the rich history of Powhatan’s past that were marked within its walls.

Powhatan

owhatan State Park is making big strides forward in fall 2016 by increasing amenities to attract visitors, including the opening of its water/electric campground and a third canoe launch along the James River.

The River Bend Campground, which is expected to open in early November 2016, will offer visitors a chance to camp under the stars at 29 new campsites equipped with water and electricity. The campground will be open each year from March 1 to Dec. 1, beginning in 2017.

The sites are suitable for RV or tent camping and are served by an expansive bathhouse with good privacy options.

Previously, the only option for overnight guests was a canoein campground along the scenic James River.

A third canoe launch finished construction and opened in early October 2016. This launch, located 2 miles from the first one, will allow for shorter floats on the James River and increase opportunities for more park programming involving the river.

New campground

The River Bend Campground’s sites each have plenty of space for an RV or tents, holding up to Photo by Laura McFarland six people, and are equipped with water and electricity. They also have a picnic table, fire pit, lantern holder and space to park two vehicles.

Exploring the park

The park has 8 miles of hiking trails for people to explore. Some are only accessible on foot, but a large percentage is multi-use. A temporary road improvement project in fall 2016 at the intersection that leads to the park entrance opened access to the park for horse trailers, which means riders on horseback can now join cyclists on the multi-use trails.

On the open water

The opening of a third canoe launch further along the James River within the park boundaries creates new opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and tubing for people who don’t have as much time to spend on the water. More guided canoeing trips will also be added by the park.

A few more amenities

In spring 2017, the park will add three new Photo by Laura McFarland yurts for rent for people wanting to experience camping in a slightly less primitive way. The yurts, which are based on the traditional Mongolian framed tents, will have basic furniture but no running water.

Contributed Report griculture and forestry are the roots of Powhatan County, and Powhatan is home to some 250 farms that occupy more than 90,000 acres of forest, open space and farmland, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service.

These lands are responsible for the production of thousands of food and fiber products people use every day.

County farm and forestry products sold were valued at more than $13 million in 2012.

Powhatan County’s farms and forests have been producing for hundreds of years, and under the right conditions they will continue to provide economic and cultural benefits for years to come. The continuing pressures related to increased development in the county, additional regulations and fewer supporting resources have made it more challenging to keep the agriculture and forestry roots in place in Powhatan.

elebration of the Horse was born out of the need to raise funds to support Powhatan’s 4-H and FFA youth organizations and their many activities, educational opportunities and competitions throughout the year.

There was also a strong desire to bring awareness to the large equine community in Powhatan County, said Max Timberlake, president of the Powhatan Farm Bureau Federation.

The third annual Celebration of the Horse will be held on Saturday, May 6, 2017, at Rocky Oak Farm, 2693 Rocky Oak Road. Rain date is Sunday, May 7. All proceeds to benefit 4-H and FFA youth programs.

Farm Bureau and Powhatan Cooperative Extension work together on this collaborative project with the Powhatan 4-H and FFA youth organizations. The event has been building steam as it highlights all things equine in the county, with a schedule that includes children’s activities, a corn hole tournament, educational displays, food, silent auction, hay rides and more. In addition to being a 4-H Qualifying horse show, the horse show portion of the event is also open to adult participants. In its third year, the event will expand to include livestock and exhibits highlighting the overall impact of agriculture in the county.

Lonesome Dove’s goal is to improve muscle tone, balance and mobility of physically disabled Veterans, while providing mental stimulation, enhanced self-confidence and self-esteem.

golf courses Independence Golf Club Originally a Tom Fazio Design, the Championship Course at Independence Golf Course underwent an extensive renovation in 2014 led by Richmond based golf course architect Lester George in conjunction with superintendent Dan Taylor, and owner Giff Breed. Renovations included regrassing the fairways and greens, ridding the layout of an overabundance of bunkers and strategically removing trees to get air moving, resulting in healthier turf. In addition to the course upgrades, the club formed incredible partnerships that have allowed it to take the overall golf experience to another level.

Here are the most notable: l Champion Bermuda greens; l Five sets of tees ranging from just over 5,000 yards to more than 7,100 yards from the tips; l Ground game is prevalent, especially in front of and around the putting surfaces, where closely-mown areas mean players have a number of choices, including running the ball onto the green.

Other improvements included beverage carts were upgraded to two Lexus CT hybrid “player assistant vehicles” to provide a safe, quiet and eco-friendly alternative; golf carts were upgraded and equipped with GPS enabled tablets; on-course water coolers have been replaced by Diamond Spring cold water dispensers throughout the course, and the snack bar was converted into a Cafe Zata, which offers fresh specialty coffee, breakfast and lunch options.

Basketball is the most recent addition to the options available, with a 3-on-3 league in the winter and late summer and an all-star tournament session in the spring.

here are many ways in Powhatan County to engage in youth sports, whether you want to pick up a baseball bat, toss a lacrosse ball, or kick a soccer ball.

From several Powhatan Fury travel soccer teams winning their 2016 leagues to four of the Powhatan Youth Athletic Association softball teams making it to the state tournament in 2016, and the Powhatan Little League teams facing off against the best in the District 5 tournament, the county has a lot to offer in terms of youth sports.

It isn’t all about the success on the field, however. Powhatan youth sports offer the opportunity for the youth of the area to get involved in a sport, get exercise and learn what it means to be part of a team and life lessons such as leadership, humility and sportsmanship.

“Powhatan is a great place for youth sports because we are able to provide a variety of sports throughout the county such as baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, lacrosse, golf, volleyball, track and field, fishing and hunting,” Powhatan Little League president Jay Heckle said. “Powhatan has nice facilities for each sport providing our kids the environment they need to learn and excel in.”

Why switch to Essex Bank?

Just listen to what our customers say: “Personalized service. Fees don’t eat me up.”

“Impressed with the friendliness, helpfulness of the staff. They always take the time to work with me on simple or complex issues.”

“Much more helpful. I’m a customer and a friend—not a number.”

“Our previous bank was rude and impersonal. Essex Bank is welcoming and attentive to my individual needs.”

“I have complete respect for Essex Bank, who have gone out of their way to help my elderly parents and me.”

“The question I asked that sold me on Essex Bank the day I opened an account was, ‘Show me all of your service fees.’ The lady handed me a small preprinted card. I looked at her and said, ‘I want to see all of your account service fees.’ She replied, ‘That’s all of them.’ I left [my old bank] because they had come up with two full pages of ridiculous account service fees, along with an arrogant, ‘were in charge’ attitude. I have experienced nothing but friendly and helpful service while banking with Essex Bank. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!”

“I wanted a smaller bank with a welcoming atmosphere. I found it.”

Simply Better.
