The railroad was intended to provide a faster route for Midwestern goods to reach the East Coast than the successful Erie Canal across upstate NY. Construction began on July 4th, 1828. It was decided to follow the Patapsco River to a point near where the railroad would cross the “fall line” and descend into the valley of the Monocacy and Potomac Rivers. Thomas Viaduct (on the B&O RR) spans the Patapsco River and Patapsco Valley between Relay and Elkridge, MD (1833-35) It was the largest bridge in the nation and today its still the world's oldest multiple arched stone railroad bridge Further extensions of the B&O RR soon opened to Frederick and Point of Rocks on the Potomac river.

    BULL RUN MOUNTAIN HOUSE, SITE 44FQ0313 Fauquier County, Virginia WSSI #22316.01 Phase I Archeological Investigation (±0.65 acres) December, 2013 Prepared for: Fauquier County Department of Community Development 10 Hotel Street, 3rd Floor Warrenton, Virginia 20186 Prepared by: Boyd Sipe, M.A., RPA and Andrés E. Garzón-Oechsle 5300 Wellington Branch Drive, Suite 100 Gainesville, Virginia 20155 Tel: 703-679-5600 Email: [email protected] www.wetlandstudies.com ABSTRACT A Phase I archeological investigation was conducted within a ±0.65 acre portion of the ±3.3 acre site 44FQ0313, the Bull Run Mountain House site located in Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve in Fauquier County, Virginia. Additionally, a public outreach component was undertaken that included the excavation of two test units. Thunderbird Archeology, a division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc., of Gainesville, Virginia, conducted the studies for Fauquier County Planning Division of Warrenton, Virginia. The fieldwork was carried out in September and October of 2013. The historic artifact assemblage recovered from the site indicates that the intensive historic occupation of site 44FQ0313 may have dated from circa 1785 to circa 1825 during John Monday’s ownership of the property. The late historic finds, represented primarily by bottle glass dating to the late 19th century and early 20th century may be associated with the reported ephemeral use of the property as a hunting lodge or retreat during these periods. A previously unknown prehistoric component of the site that likely dates to the Archaic period (8000 B.C. – 1000 B.C.) was also discovered during the Phase I investigations.

After a fateful engagement in Gettysburg, Pennsyl- vania, Fauquier County’s role in the war changed. No longer the cradle of Confederate invasion, the battle lands of Manassas Gap, Auburn, Buckland Mills, and Rappahannock Station II were Lee’s path of retreat. Yet, much as Gettysburg did not end the war, Lee’s retreat was not the last that Fauquier County saw of Civil War soldiers. Throughout the Civil War, the “hallowed grounds” of Fauquier County were con- tested fields of battle. ■ June-July 1863 Goose Creek Bridge in 2008. Photograph by Garry Adelman.

    Proposed Scenic Byway Information for Waterfall Road, Antioch Road

    Proposed Scenic Byway Information for Waterfall Road, Antioch Road and John Marshall Highway (Route 55) The Prince William Conservation Alliance (Conserve Prince William) along with residents of the Haymarket community would like to request scenic byway designation for connecting portions of Waterfall Road, Antioch Road, and John Marshall Highway (Route 55) in Haymarket, VA. These roads pass through areas that highlight the unique qualities of Prince William County, and showcase the environmental, cultural, and historical treasures that the local community has to offer. The proposed scenic byway begins at the intersection of Hopewell Road and Waterfall Road at the county line between Prince William and Fauquier Counties. From this point, the proposed byway would continue east down Waterfall Road (601), until it intersects with Antioch Road. The byway would then continue South down Antioch Road, until it meets with John Marshall Highway (Route 55). From here, the proposed byway will continue West down John Marshall Highway, and come to an end right before Beverleys Mill Road at the border between Prince William and Fauquier counties. US Interstate 66 and James Madison Highway (US 15) are both in close proximity to the proposed scenic byway. Highlighting Route 55 and Antioch Road as a scenic byway will give tourists and locals the option of driving on “the road less traveled,” and provide an escape from the busy highways through an area thriving with natural and historical beauty. With its idyllic view of the Bull Run Mountains, working farms, and historic homes and churches, this scenic byway truly shows some of the unique qualities that Prince William County has to offer.

The first factor is its location in the Shenandoah Valley. For more than a century, the Valley has been noted for its beautiful mountains and clear streams and has attracted many tourists and seasonal guests. The Valley has been an important north-south transportation route since Indian times. A second regional setting factor influencing growth is the County’s location bordering two low passes over the Blue Ridge Mountains. Pioneer commerce from the Richmond and Hampton Roads areas passed through Chester and Manassas Gaps, across Warren County to distant markets. The early retail and industrial sectors of the economy developed from trans-shipping of manufactured goods and agricultural produce through the County. The third factor is the close proximity of Warren County to major cities. The distance to Washington D.C. is 70 miles; to Baltimore, 110 miles, and to Richmond, 135 miles.
