VDHR Historic Context Report Appendix I: Historic Resources Previously Surveyed in Northampton County 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dames & Moore completed an architectural history survey of approximately 300 properties in Northampton County, Virginia. Thirty properties were surveyed at the intensive level; 270 properties were surveyed at the reconnaissance level. Properties were selected to represent a range of chronological themes, identifying themes, and geographic themes. Six villages were identified as potential historic districts -- Cheriton, EastvillelEastville Station, Franktown, Machipongo, Oyster and Willis Wharf. Historic context was developed focusing on the villages, settlements and towns of Northampton County. Chronological themes included: Settlement to Society (1607-1750); Colony to Nation (1750-1789); . Early National Period (1789-1830); Antebellum Period (1830-1860); Civil War (1861-1865); Reconstruction and Growth (1865.1914); and . World War I to Present Settlement patterns comprised the overarching substantive theme of the context. Other identifying themes were: Domestic; . Subsistence and agriculture; Government, law and politics; Education; Military and defeme; . Religion; Industry, processing and extraction-Agricultural and Maritime Industries; Social, recreation and arts; Transportation and communication; Commerce and trade; and Ethnicity and immigration. The geographic theme addressed the various villages, settlements and towns of Northampton County. Each was addressed individually and, where possible, information was supplied about the history and development of each. A preservation ordinance was developed for integration with Northampton County zoning efforts. The ordinance focuses on encouraging incentives for positive preservation. Meetings were held with the Sustainable Development Task Force and with the public to ensure that the efforts meet the needs of the community. 2.0 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was completed with the assistance, support, and cooperation of the County of Northampton and its citizens. The people who invited us into their homes, shops, and heritage provided a special piece of themselves that we hope is reflected in this report. Dames & Moore is especially indebted to Tim Hayes, Northampton County Director of Sustainable Development, and the Sustainable Development Task Force whose insights and help were invaluable. Special thanks go to Francis Latimer who graciously shared with us her detailed knowledge of Northampton County and her special interest in the African-American heritage of the Shore. Dames & Moore also appreciates the assistance of Mr. Floyd Nock, long-time resident of the Eastern Shore and expert in its architectural history. He provided his intimate knowledge of the people and places of Northampton County. The staff of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources was also extremely helpful throughout this project. In particular, Dames & Moore thanks Margaret Peters, Randy Turner and Elizabeth Hoge Lipford for their detailed review and helpful suggestions for improvement. 3.0 LIST OF FIGURES AND TABLES Figures Figure 4.1 .

  • American Indians of the Chesapeake Bay: an Introduction
    AMERICAN INDIANS OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY: AN INTRODUCTION hen Captain John Smith sailed up the Chesapeake Bay in 1608, American Indians had W already lived in the area for thousands of years. The people lived off the land by harvesting the natural resources the Bay had to offer. In the spring, thousands of shad, herring and rockfish were netted as they entered the Chesapeake’s rivers and streams to spawn. Summer months were spent tending gardens that produced corn, beans and squash. In the fall, nuts such as acorns, chestnuts and walnuts were gathered from the forest floor. Oysters and clams provided another source of food and were easily gathered from the water at low tide. Hunting parties were sent overland in search of deer, bear, wild turkey and other land animals. Nearby marshes provided wild rice and tuckahoe (arrow arum), which produced a potato-like root. With so much food available, the American Indians of the Chesapeake region were able to thrive. Indian towns were found close to the water’s edge near freshwater springs or streams. Homes were made out of bent saplings (young, Captain John Smith and his exploring party encounter two Indian men green trees) that were tied into a spearing fish in the shallows on the lower Eastern Shore. The Indians framework and covered with woven later led Smith to the village of Accomack, where he met with the chief. mats, tree bark, or animal skins. Villages often had many homes clustered together, and some were built within a palisade, a tall wall built with sturdy sticks and covered with bark, for defense.

  • Defining the Nanticoke Indigenous Cultural Landscape
    Indigenous Cultural Landscapes Study for the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail: Nanticoke River Watershed December 2013 Kristin M. Sullivan, M.A.A. - Co-Principal Investigator Erve Chambers, Ph.D. - Principal Investigator Ennis Barbery, M.A.A. - Research Assistant Prepared under cooperative agreement with The University of Maryland College Park, MD and The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, MD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Nanticoke River watershed indigenous cultural landscape study area is home to well over 100 sites, landscapes, and waterways meaningful to the history and present-day lives of the Nanticoke people. This report provides background and evidence for the inclusion of many of these locations within a high-probability indigenous cultural landscape boundary—a focus area provided to the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay and the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail Advisory Council for the purposes of future conservation and interpretation as an indigenous cultural landscape, and to satisfy the Identification and Mapping portion of the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit Cooperative Agreement between the National Park Service and the University of Maryland, College Park. Herein we define indigenous cultural landscapes as areas that reflect “the contexts of the American Indian peoples in the Nanticoke River area and their interaction with the landscape.” The identification of indigenous cultural landscapes “ includes both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife therein associated with historic lifestyle and settlement patterns and exhibiting the cultural or esthetic values of American Indian peoples,” which fall under the purview of the National Park Service and its partner organizations for the purposes of conservation and development of recreation and interpretation (National Park Service 2010:4.22).

INTRODUCTORY THE INIanual of the One Hundred and Eighth Session of the Legislature of New Jersey is, we trust, an improvement on preceding volumes. We have honestly striven every year to make each succeeding book suj^e- rior to all others, and hope, ere long, to present a work which will take rank with the best of its kind published in the United States. To do this we need a continuance of the support heretofore given us, and the official assist- ance of the Legislature. We are confident that this little hand-book, furnished at the small cost of one dollar a volume, is indispensable to every legislator, State official and others, who can, at a moment's notice, refer to it for information of any sort connected with the politics and affairs of State. The vast amount of data, compiled in such a remarkably concise manner, is the result of care- ful research of official documents; and the sketches of the Governor, members of the Judiciary, Congressmen, members of the Legislature, and State officers, are authentic.

  • Preservation and Partners: a History of Piscataway Park
    Preservation and Partners: A History of Piscataway Park Janet A. McDonnell, PhD December 2020 Resource Stewardship and Science, National Capital Area, National Park Service and Organization of American Historians EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During the early republic period of American history, President George Washington was the most renowned resident of the Potomac River valley. His sprawling Mount Vernon estate sat on a hill directly across the Potomac River from the 17th century Marshall Hall estate in Maryland. There is ample evidence that Washington and his guests enjoyed and very much appreciated the stunning view. Many years later preserving this view would become the major impetus for establishing what we know today as Piscataway Park (PISC), a few miles south of Washington, DC. These lands along the Maryland shore of Potomac River were actively cultivated during George Washington’s time, and the existing park setting, which includes agricultural lands and open spaces interspersed with forests and wetlands, closely approximates that historic scene. The National Park Service’s (NPS) primary goal and responsibility in managing the park has been, and continues to be, preserving this historic scene of open fields and wooded areas and ensuring that it does not authorize any landscape alterations except those that would restore previously undisturbed sites, reduce visual intrusions, or maintain open fields. The NPS continues to take into account the slope and orientation of the terrain and the tree cover when considering the location of any new facilities. Piscataway Park and its associated lands are for the most part held under scenic easements and constitute a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) historic district made up of nearly 5,000 acres of meadow, woodland, and wetland, along six miles of the Potomac River shoreline from the head of Piscataway Creek to the historic Marshall Hall in Maryland’s Prince George’s and Charles counties.
