  • Mills and Mill Sites in Fairfax County, Virginia and Washington, Dc
    Grist Mills of Fairfax County and Washington, DC MILLS AND MILL SITES IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA AND WASHINGTON, DC Marjorie Lundegard Friends of Colvin Run Mill August 10, 2009 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Most of the research for this catalogue of mills of Fairfax County was obtained from the owners, staff members, or neighbors of these mills. I want to thank all these persons who helped in the assembling of the history of these mills. Resource information was also acquired from: the library at the National Park at Great Falls, Virginia; the book, COLVIN RUN MILL, by Ross D. Nether ton; brochures from the Fairfax County Park Authority; and from the staff and Friends of Peirce Mill in the District of Columbia. Significant information on the mill sites in Fairfax County was obtained from the Historic American Building Survey (HABS/HAER) reports that were made in 1936 and are available from the Library of Congress. I want to give special thanks to my husband, Robert Lundegard, who encouraged me to complete this survey. He also did the word processing to assemble the reports and pictures in book form. He designed the attractive cover page and many other features of the book. It is hoped that you will receive as much enjoyment from the reading of the booklet as I had in preparing it for publication. 0 Grist Mills of Fairfax County and Washington, DC Contents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ......................................................................................................................... 0 GRIST MILLS of FAIRFAX COUNTY and WASHINGTON, DC .............................................................

As defined in the Countywide Policy Plan, Greenways are "linear open space corridors which include and connect, parks and recreation sites, areas of significant and sensitive ecological and heritage (cultural) resource value, wildlife habitats, riparian corridors and Countywide trails with each other and with residential communities, employment and commercial areas and transit destinations. Designated Greenways may be comprised of one or several components which will provide the desired resource protection and/or continuity of non-motorized access to destinations throughout the County. They may be established along natural corridors such as Environmental Quality Corridors, along scenic roadways, urban sidewalks and plazas, or other natural or landscaped courses for pedestrian, bicycle or equestrian passage. In addition to publicly accessible parklands and trails, Greenways may also incorporate private open space managed for the protection of significant natural and heritage (cult ural) resources under voluntary agreements with property owners." The Park Authority shall coordinate the establishment of the Countywide network of Greenways in accordance with the following guidelines: 1.

  • CHAIN BRIDGE a HISTORY of the BRIDGE and ITS SURROUNDING TERRITORY 1608 -1991 by Jim Pearson
    CHAIN BRIDGE A HISTORY OF THE BRIDGE AND ITS SURROUNDING TERRITORY 1608 -1991 By Jim Pearson Most modern day Arlington commuters who use Chain Bridge in their daily trek to and from the District would be astonished to learn how prominent the area at Pimmit Run at the Virginia end of the bridge was in the early days of our fledgling country. At the mouth of the Pimmit was an early river crossing; two Indian trails from the interior country met at this spot and it is believed there was an Indian settlement and fishing ground here. 1 This spot, the first break in the palisades below Little Falls supported among other endeavors: Indian gatherings, taverns, ferries, a tobacco warehouse, the first industrial park in Northern Virginia, an extensive stone quarry operation, a Civil War outpost in the defense of the City, a sleepy crossroads settlement that came alive each spring during the herring and shad runs, and finally a high volume traffic artery to the City. It is also the site of a proposed town that failed to materialize. The area on the Virginia side of the river at Chain Bridge is rich in history, its past now noted only by a small roadside historical marker. The area was explored as early as 1608 "as high as the Falls" by Captain John Smith. An Indian settlement was believed to be at Pimmit Run with two trails that correspond approximately to the Fairfax Road (Route 123) and the other following Pimmit Run turning south and joining what is the present day Glebe Road at Walker Chapel.

    ARCHEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL DETERMINATION OF TRADITIONALLY NAVIGABLE WATERS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND A COMPREHENSIVE METHODOLOGY FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE TRADITIONAL NAVIGABILITY OF WATERWAYS IN THE UNITED STATES Goose Creek Canal, Loudoun County Virginia William P. Barse, Ph.D. and Boyd Sipe July 2007 5300 Wellington Branch Drive • Suite 100 • Gainesville, VA 20155 • Phone 703.679.5600 • Fax 703.679.5601 www.wetlandstudies.com A Division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. ABSTRACT This document presents the results of an archival and documentary study on the Traditional Navigability of Waterways in Northern Virginia. The study area is depicted in Attachment 1 of this report and is roughly bounded by the Potomac River on the north and east, the Opequon Creek watershed on the west and the Rappahannock River watershed on the south. The study was conducted by Thunderbird Archeology, a division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. of Gainesville, Virginia. The purposes of this work are threefold. The primary purpose is to assist consultants and regulators in completing Section III of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Approved Jurisdictional Form. In order to accomplish this goal, a working definition of what constitutes Traditional Navigable Waterways was prepared. This definition will aid in the determination of Waters of the United States jurisdiction for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers within the study area. Secondly, using specific archeological and historical information, the paper demonstrates that certain rivers and streams can be identifiable as Traditional Navigable Waterways. It is also possible to consider the use of streams for recreation, e.g.

Brad Hatch Prepared for Arlington County 2100 Clarendon Boulevard, Suite 705 Arlington, Virginia 22201 Prepared by Dovetail Cultural Resource Group 300 Central Road, Suite 200 Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401 Dovetail Job #15-003 February 2015 February 11, 2015 Kerri S. Barile, Principal Investigator Date Dovetail Cultural Resource Group This page intentionally left blank ABSTRACT On behalf of Arlington County, Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail) conducted a Phase I archaeological survey of a portion of the proposed West Little Pimmit Run Phase I storm drainage improvement project area located in Arlington County, Virginia, during January 2015. The West Little Pimmit Run Phase I storm drain improvement project includes 1,450 feet (442 m) of storm sewer pipe installation, along with water main re-location and construction of four bioretention facilities. Based on public comment and a preliminary study by Arlington County staff, it was determined that only the portion of the line crossing John Marshall Drive Island had the potential for archaeological deposits. The archaeological project area for the current study is therefore defined as the project construction footprint within John Marshall Drive Island. The archaeological investigations included a visual inspection of the entire 13,000 square foot (3,962.4 sq. m) archaeological project area to identify surface features, areas likely to contain intact soils, and disturbed areas, followed by judgmental shovel test pit (STP) survey in areas that had the potential for intact soils, and archival research concerning the land use history of the project area.
