Welcome from the board chairman There’s a lot of great history in Hanover County, but history isn’t all we offer. This is one of the great places to live and I think it’s getting better all the time. For example, this year we were named one of America’s “100 Best Communities for Youth” for the second consecutive year. More than 300 communities in all 50 states sought this recognition. Hanover County was one of only six localities (only two counties) in Virginia to receive this recognition and one of only 26 throughout the nation to win it for two straight years.

We have some beautiful new buildings going up around Hanover, but perhaps none more beautiful than our Hanover Veterans Memorial. Volunteers also were largely responsible for the creation of this memorial at Hanover Wayside Park on Route 301 south of Hanover Courthouse.

August 2008
Welcome to Hanover County Welcome to Hanover County, Va., one of the most vibrant and inviting counties in the state of Virginia. Whether it’s history, heritage or high tech, Hanover County offers endless possibilities for its residents and visitors. Those smiles on the faces of almost 100,000 Virginians who call Hanover home are contagious. It comes from a lifestyle that highlights all that Central Virginia has to offer including quality schools, a growing and friendly economic environment, the best neighbors in the world and a firm foundation in heritage and tradition. Hanover County offers its residents the best of both worlds— a close proximity to metropolitan Richmond area and easy access to the many rural areas of the region. It’s easy to understand the steady growth the county has experienced in recent years. With a vitalized real estate market, a flourishing business community and a local government that supports economic development and controlled growth, Hanover is poised to take its rightful place as one of Virginia’s most pleasant places to live. That’s something residents have long known as they take a lazy canoe trip down the South Anna River or enjoy the county’s numerous and varied recreational opportunities. The County’s Parks and Recreation Department offers year round programs to citizens, with a varied menu of opportunities to live, learn and play. Situated 12 miles north of the city of Richmond, Hanover County covers more than 470 square miles and is served by two major interstate highways, I-95 and I-295. It shares borders with Goochland, Louisa, Henrico, King William, Caroline, New Kent and Spotsylvania counties. The county offers quality educational opportunities for all of its citizens, with a wide variety of programs for everyone. The county’s four high schools, four middle schools and numerous elementaries all receive high recognition for instilling a sense of community pride in its students. Ashland, the county’s only incorporated city, is home to one of Virginia’s finest four-year institutes of higher learning, Randolph-Macon College. The sleepy, railroad town atmosphere blends nicely with a vigorous academic setting, attracting students from around the globe. Hanover County is truly Virginia at its best with all the trimmings. Whether it’s a weekend getaway at a country bed and breakfast, an exciting trip down a lazy river, a visit to one of the county’s numerous battlefields, tasting one of our world-famous tomatoes or experiencing one of the county’s exciting festivals and parades, Hanover County feels like home. With a history and tradition as varied as the people who live here, Hanover County offers something for everyone, whether it’s economic opportunity, recreational options or a family-friendly atmosphere that makes Hanover a great place to live and work.

County services at a glance Like all counties, towns and cities in the state, Hanover County is a political subdivision of the commonwealth of Virginia. Its form of government is the traditional board with a county administrator. Policies governing the county administration are set by the seven-member Board of Supervisors, who are elected from seven magisterial districts. Hanover County government offers a variety of services for more than 100,000 residents. For information about general government administration, call 365-6000. The following is an alphabetical list of departments for general administration: Animal Control Animal Control is responsible for the enforcement of laws that protect the safety and rights of citizens and their animals. Kevin Kilgore, the chief of Animal Control, can be reached at 365-6485. The office operates an animal shelter, which houses lost or impounded animals, offers unwanted animals for adoption and monitors rabies cases. The office works with the Hanover Humane Society and other animal agencies. Leash laws for dogs vary depending on the area — the vast majority of the Mechanicsville area has such laws — and all dogs must have an animal license. Information about other
pets should be obtained from the office. Also, people wishing to have wild or exotic animals must obtain a permit. The office and county shelter (or pound) are located in Taylor House Complex at the Hanover Courthouse. The county shelter can be reached at 365-6485. Assessor’s Office The assessment office places a value on all real property in the county each year so other departments can determine what taxes on real estate are owed. The chief assessor is John W. Nelms, Jr. The office can be reached at 365-6029. Building permits The Hanover County code requires a building permit to build, alter, repair, convert or demolish any structure in the county. The chief building inspector is Richard E. Bartell. Installation of fuel lines, septic systems, wells, signs, electrical and plumbing work also requires a permit. Applications for permits can be made at the building inspector’s office in the Administration Building at the Hanover Courthouse Complex. No construction may begin until the application is filed, approved and the appropriate fees paid. Fees vary for each permit. For details call the building inspector’s office at 365-6040.

Mechanicsville: Gateway to Hanover Located just 12 miles from Richmond, Mechanicsville has long prided itself in its unique identity as a close knit independent community. Many Hanoverians think of the small village adjacent to the landmark windmill as downtown Hanover. It’s home to a varied array of businesses and shops that offer residents a chance to meet and greet the folks who run the operations. Few local politicians have passed up a chance to sit down at the Mechanicsville Pharmacy to meet and greet and throw down the political gauntlet. Mechanicsville is just that kind of place. The residents feel a sense of community and take pride in their unique village.
Mechanicsville is home to some of the county’s most noteworthy celebrations including the Hanover Tomato Festival, the annual Christmas Parade and numerous civic celebrations throughout the year. Even with the small town feel, Mechanicsville hs maintained a steady growth rate and its blending of the old and new attracts new residents each year. The Board of Supervisors approved funds to construct a new library in the Mechanicsville area, and the facility will open in 2009.
Just down the street on Mechanicsville Turnpike, there’s a variety of retail opportunities from small strip malls to medium sized shopping centers with major grocery chains at the anchor. It’s truly a retail paradise as shoppers enjoy the value of nationally-recognized products and outlets, but get that hometown shopping experience. It’s a uniqueness that is found throughout Mechanicsville. Even with the small town feel, the 24,000 people who call Mechanicsville home have witnessed phenomenal growth in the past decades and the area now hosts many national businesses, well recognized chains, Wal-Mart and Home Depot, and local stalwarts, like Ukrop’s.

Ashland offers unique atmosphere More than 6,000 Hanover residents call Ashland home. It’s the county’s only incorporated town, governed by its town council and patrolled with its own police force. The quaint atmosphere and unique architecture attract thousands to Ashland each year for its many festivals and fairs.
The council meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month in Council Chambers in Town Hall at 101 Thompson Street. The Town of Ashland also maintains a 25-plus men police force headed by Douglas A. Goodman.
Founded in the 1840s as a resort town, the heart of the town is located on the railroad tracks. From the tiny train station located across from Randolph-Macon College, you can go anywhere in the region with regular Amtrak service. The seven-square mile town offers residents a unique lifestyle, complete with village style streets and jogging paths, with easy access to the larger city comforts. It’s a comfortable blend of the old and new, and town officials plan to keep it that way with strategic planning for the future. The town’s strategic location has earned Ashland its nickname the “Center of the Universe.” For many residents, it’s just that with its eclectic blend of shops, restaurants and culture. Ashland is governed by a town council consisting of a mayor, vice mayor and three additional members. With terms expiring in 2010, Faye Prichard is the mayor and William C. Martin is the vice mayor. Elected members of the council include George Sgagna, Anthony Keitt and Terri Winston-Abri.

Kings Dominion soars to new heights in 2008 Summer is in full swing in Hanover Countyd and there is no better way to celebrate longer days and warmer weather than with a fun-filled day at Kings Dominion. Celebrating 33 years of family fun and excitement, the Mid-Atlantic’s favorite theme park kicked off its 2008 season in late March. Kings Dominion is a 400-acre theme park that’s home to more than 40 rides, shows and attractions. The park features one of the largest coaster collections on the East Coast, including the Volcano, the world’s only coaster in the world that rockets riders out of a raging volcano, two children’s areas, and WaterWorks, a 20-acre water park playground that’s included free with park admission. This year the park soared to new heights with the debut of its newest attraction, Dominator, a thrilling new steel coaster that opened May 24. Dominator is the 14th roller coaster to be introduced at Kings Dominion since the park opened as Virginia’s first theme park in 1975. The coaster features a 4,210 foot long steel track, making it the longest floorless coaster in the world. Dominator also includes one of the largest vertical loops in the world. In 2007, WaterWorks was expanded for double the fun for families! Beginning with Tidal Wave Bay, Kings Dominion added a second wave pool with 350,000 gallons of water fun.
Filled with hundreds of thousands of gallons of water, Tidal Wave Bay will offer hours of swimming adventure. The new Tornado attraction combines high thrills with spinning and churning wet spills. Extending 65 feet into the air, the Tornado provides riders with a unique water experience that everyone will want to ride again and again. Finally, the addition of the Zoom Flume, will give families the opportunity to enjoy a rafting adventure together. Four riders at a time can climb aboard the raft and “zoom” down the curving and tilting raging water path.

Scene from Hanover’s annual Heritage Day
Hanover County historical sites Hanover County Courthouse The Hanover County Courthouse was built in 1735. The Courthouse, Tavern, early 19th century jail, and Clerk’s Office form a rare complex still in existence. It was here that Patrick Henry participated in the Parson’s Cause case (1763) and gave a thrust to the American Revolution. In 1774, the citizens of Hanover assembled here and adopted the “Hanover Resolves”. Open by appointment (804) 537-5815. Hanover Tavern The Hanover Tavern is an 18th century tavern originally owned from 1750-1764 by John Shelton, father-in-law of Patrick Henry. The present tavern, built in 1780, has been used as a stagecoach stop, tavern, and inn. From 1953-1996, it was the home of the Barksdale Theatre. It has recently undergone restoration by the historic Hanover Tavern Foundation. Plans are to use it for education and entertainment programs. For more information call (804) 537-5050. Town of Ashland A walking tour, starting at the Train Station Visitor Center, includes more than a dozen of the two hundred 19th- and 20th-century homes in the historic district. Also located in
Ashland is Randolph-Macon College. Established in 1830, it relocated to Ashland following the Civil War. It is one of the oldest Methodist colleges in the country. Included on its grounds is Washington and Franklin Hall, built in 1872 and on the National Historic Register. Ashland Depot The Ashland Depot station was built in 1923, replacing the original station of 1866. Designed by W. Duncan Lee, a well known architect and native of Ashland. Its symmetrical floor plan reflects the segregation of the South at the time; “White” waiting room on the north end; “Colored” on the south, each with its own window to the ticket office. The RF&P Railroad gave the building to the Town in 1983, and today it serves as the Visitor Center. AMTRAK service is available.

Hanover schools: Achieving the mark A message from the superintendent Hanover County Public Schools (HCPS) will serve approximately 19,700 students in grades pre-K through 12 during the 2008-2009 school year. As the fourteenth-largest school district in Virginia and one of the 300 largest school districts in the country, HCPS is proud that our students continue to perform in the top 5 to 10 percent in the state on measures of student achievement. Our students benefit from top-notch teachers who have earned local, regional, state and national awards and school leaders who are committed to the Hanover Standard of Excellence. Schools are further strengthened by involved parents and strong partnerships with our county government and the business community. The nearly 80 percent approval of school projects by voters in the 2005 referendum, the highest margin of any referendum in the state, reflects the high expectations and strong support of those who have a stake in the future of Hanover’s children. In September we will celebrate the opening of Laurel Meadow Elementary, our newest elementary school, and The Hanover Center for Trades and Technology, our long-awaited trade school. With four high schools, four middle schools, 15 elementary schools, The Georgetown School (our alternative education facility), and The Hanover Center for Trades and Technology, we are proud to offer expanding educational opportunities to prepare Hanover students for success in a changing world. During the upcoming school year, we will continue implementation of the Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools grant which will enhance our ability to keep our schools safe. We value greatly our partnerships with the Hanover Sheriff’s Office, Hanover Fire/EMS, and other local, state and federal agencies that enable us to work together effectively on behalf of the safety of our students and staff. As the new year begins, we invite you to join us as we celebrate the opening of our two newest schools and to take every opportunity to be involved in your child’s education. The mission statement from our Long-Range Plan describes Hanover County Public Schools as “student-centered” and “community-driven.” With that in mind, I welcome you to the 2008-2009 school year and encourage you to accept invitations to become part of the exciting activities in our individual schools and the school district. You can be sure that your presence and participation are welcomed and valued as we work together with a shared vision for our students’ success. Best wishes for another successful school year!

Continued from page 18 depicting family life in the last one hundred years. It also has a special exhibit of African-American Inventors. Open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from noon until 5 p.m. and by appointment. Call (804) 752-6110 or (804) 798-5774 for further information. North Anna Battlefield Between May 23 and May 26, 1864, more than 150,000 Union and Confederate soldiers occupied fortifications along the North Anna River. The heaviest fighting occurred on the first two days and the armies left the area on the 27th heading for Cold Harbor. A self-guided walking tour of the Ox Ford portion of the battlefield, established by General Crushed Stone, is the highlight of most visits. Call (804) 798-8062 for information. Slash Church The oldest frame church in Virginia was erected in 1729 at a cost 60,000 pounds of tobacco. Originally it was an Episcopal Church, and Patrick Henry’s uncle was its rector from 1737 to 1777. After the Revolution, it was used jointly by the Methodists and the Disciples of Christ. Since 1842 it has been owned by the latter denomination. North Carolina troops camped in and around the Church in 1862 before being engaged in the battle of Hanover Courthouse.

Garthright House. Beaver Dam Creek and Gaines Mill were part of the Seven Days Battles in 1862 when Robert E. Lee successfully kept the Union Army under General McClellan away from Richmond. The Battle of Cold Harbor took place in 1864 as part of General Grant’s strategy to destroy the Army of Northern Virginia. Grant’s frontal assault was repulsed with heavy casualties and led him to break contact and cross the James River to threaten Richmond’s rail connection with the Confederate heartland at Petersburg. Follow the signs from Mechanicsville along Route 156. Open daily. Call (804) 226-1981 for information. Pole Green Church This site was the center of the struggle for religious and civil liberty in the middle of the 18th century in Virginia. The Hanover dissenters, with the leadership of Presbyterian Minister Samuel Davies, contended with the established Anglican Church sponsored by the Colonial Government. Patrick Henry worshipped here throughout his adolescence and years later said, “Davies taught me what an orator should be”. The Church was destroyed by Confederate artillery fire in 1864 and was never rebuilt. Hanover County has numerous churches of historic note. Among them are: Fork Episcopal Church on Old Ridge Road; Trinity Episcopal Church in western Hanover; Enon Methodist Church and Salem Presbyterian Church in Studley; Immanuel Episcopal Church in Old Church; and Beulah Presbyterian Church in Cold Harbor.
Sycamore Tavern Sycamore Tavern was built circa 1732 as the fourth stagecoach stop on the road from Charlottesville to Richmond. The building served as a tavern in the 19th Century. It now houses the Historical and Genealogical Library and is open to the public on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Call (804) 883-5355 for information.
