  • Snickers Gap, Loudoun County, Virginia Introduction: Snickers Gap
    Snickers Gap, Loudoun County, Virginia Introduction: Snickers Gap, originally Williams Gap, is a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mount on the border of Loudoun County and Clark County in Virginia. The gap is traversed by Virginia State Route 7. The Appalachian Trail also passes across the gap. Bear’s Den and Raven Rocks are adjacent to the gap. Geography: At 1,056 feet (322 m) the gap is approximately 300 to 600 feet (91 to 183 m) below the adjacent ridge line and 400 to 600 feet (120 to 180 m) above the surrounding countryside. Due to the dwindling height of the Blue Ridge as it approaches the Potomac River, Snickers Gap is one of the lowest wind gaps of the ridge in Virginia, with only Manassas Gap and the adjacent Keyes Gap being lower. The gap connects the northern Virginia piedmont with the lower Shenandoah Valley and serves as a main thoroughfare between the two regions. History: The gap has been a major thoroughfare since before the European colonization of the area. Native Americans originally cut a trail through the gap that continued to be used by settlers. The gap was known as Williams’ Gap until the early 1780’s, when the modern name began to be used. The gap derived its name from Edward Snickers, who owned the gap and surrounding land and operated a ferry across the Shenandoah River on the western side of the gap. But the late 18th century the Snikersville Turnpike and the Snickers Gap Turnpike were completed, and Snickers Gap became the main thoroughfare between Loudoun County and the Shenandoah bypassing Keyes Gap, which to that point had been the preferred route.

  • Demory Wortman House
    History The Blue Ridge Center is located in an area known as Between the Hills, nestled between the Blue Ridge and Short Hill Mountain. This area has witnessed over 10,000 years of human occupation. Human interactions with the land have included Native American occupation of temporary camps and hunting sites, colonial settlers clearing land for small agrarian communities, Confederate and Union troops using the area as a strategic corridor during the Civil War, and the expansion of new technology and farming methods during the Industrial Revolution. In the early 19th century, prior to the Civil War, the Blue Ridge Center lands were heavily settled. The most visible reminders of the once thriving settlement along Piney Run are the buildings. In all, 33 sites have been identified. There are many stories to tell and even more to discover. The Blue Ridge Center uses all possible resources, from historic texts and documents, oral histories, to archaeological methods, to discover each story, how it relates to each of us and the land we tread each day. Find out more about the history of the land and the structures you will find as you explore our land: • Land use • Demory Wortman House • Barn • Spring House • Wortman Pond • Barney's Cabin • Derry House • Old Bridge • Boundary Marker Tree • Everheart Homeplace • Log House • Stone Wall Land use In the 18th century, English settlers, many of them tobacco farmers, arrived in Virginia's Piedmont region, having migrated north from the Tidewater region. In Loudoun county, there was a slightly later influx of Germans, Dutch, Scots, Irish, and Pennsylvania Quakers, most of whom did not own slaves.

  • Backpacking Suggestions the Best Idea for a First Backpacking Trip Is A
    "First" Backpacking Suggestions The best idea for a first backpacking trip is a 3-day (2-night) 15-mile trip that can be safely taken by a relatively inexperienced Venture patrol. Details need be flushed out by the patrol as they plan. The suggestions shown below are only outlines and will need to be modified based upon equipment, season, weather, experience, and physical conditioning. The Appalachian Trail (AT) is closest to DC at VA Rte. 9, Rte. 7, and Rte. 50. The crossing at I- 66/Rte 55 is quick to get to, though it's further. In the 40 miles of AT between I-66 and Rte 9, there six locations than can be used for small group overnight camping; Manassas Gap Shelter, Dick's Dome Shelter, Rod Hollow Shelter, Bear's Den Youth Hostel (fee required), Blackburn Trail Center, and David Lesser Memorial Shelter. Sky Meadows State Park, located between Rte 55 and Rte 50, makes an excellent launching point. It has a primitive camping area (fee required) that can be used for the first night or as a base camp for hikes along the AT. If you go out on Friday night, pick a campsite that is near a trailhead and easy to walk to. In the winter, you will need to get to the AT as soon as possible because of a typical Friday night late start due to school and an early sunset. Be prepared to walk in the dark. The following are some suggested section hikes along the AT. For more details and maps, purchase the Appalachian Trail Guide to Maryland, and Northern Virginia published by the Appalachian Trail Conference (ATC) and available at most backcountry equipment stores.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database.

  • PIF) for HISTORIC DISTRICTS
    @ DHRi Vrrgini, Dep,rtmort of Histo,i, Resom-ees PRELIMINARY INFORMATION FORM (PIF) for HISTORIC DISTRICTS Purpose of Evaluation Please use the following space to explain briefly why you are seeking an evaluation of this property. Although Loudoun' s rural road network pre-dates the 17 57 founding of the County, this historic asset has remained in continuous use in Loudoun's rural west. With Loudoun's continued shift away from its origins as a fanning community, there is the need to document the network and plan for its future survival with the hopes that the roads don't succumb to demands of modem, high-speed travel. Loudoun County's 2019 Comprehensive Plan acknowledges the importance of the county's historic roads as a contributing resource to the "character of the rural landscape." The Plan also recognizes the importance of continued use stating that in addition to vehicular travel, the rural road network "provides opportunities for recreational use such as hiking, biking and equestrian sports." 1 Local elected leaders have written in support of preservation of the roads. Letters are attached as an appendix to this PIF. America's Routes, a local group of engaged citizens, is dedicated to documenting Loudoun's Rural Road network as a means to educate the public as to the roads' historic significance. American's Routes believes that with education, there will be more public interest in preserving this unique historic asset. For more information, please see hllps://amcricasmutes.com Are you interested in applying for State and/or Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credits?
