Located in Virginia's central Piedmont region and running along both sides of the Southwest Mountains range, the Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District encompasses approximately 31.075 acres of northeastern Albemarle County. The district is bounded on the north by the Orange County line. which also forms the southern border of the Madison-Bahour Rural Historic District: on the east by the Louisa County line and Mechunk Creek; on the south by Rt. 231 and Interstate 64,and on the west by properties adjoining Rt. 20. The district's physical characteristics include a mixture of mountainous, hilly and undulating lowland terrain. An abundance of open land affords expansive vistas of the unspoiled countryside. Cultural features such as farms and crossroads hamlets, circulation routes and road beds. as well as field patterns. tree lines. fence lines. and hedgerows complement the natural landscape elements of streams, hills. and woodlands. The district's broad range of eighteenth-?nineteenth-, and early-twentieth- century architecture reflects the evolving cultural patterns of the district's 260 years of settlement. Althou~hhown primarily for its large and imposing Federal, Greek Revival, and Georgian Revival plantation houses and country estates. the majority of the district's contributing buildings are the products of a continuous vernacular building tradition. Characterized by a d i e settlement pattern of individual plantations and farms. the district also includes several small crossroads communities established in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including the hamlets of Cismont, Cobham, Keswick, Lindsay and Stony Point, as well as several small rural black settlements established shortly after the civil War. Although the district is situated near the City of Charlottesville, modem intrusions are relatively few and inwnspicuous. Among the architectural resoures contributing to the historic character of the district are 109 domesac comolexes consisting mainly of farm and estate residences and their associated outbuildings and agricultural buildings. Other contributing buildings include eleven churches, sixteen wrnrnerciai buildings, and two railroad depots. The district's twenty-eight conmbuting structures are related mainly to agricultural production. but also include elements such as early-twentieth-century garden walls. swimming pools, and tennis courts. Other wnmbuting resources -inclu&-sixteen cemeteries. Nonwnmbuting architectural elements include 773 buildings (mostly post-1941 houses and agricultural buildings), forty-two structures (mostly recent outbuildings and agricultural structures), and nine objects (mostly mobile homes).

It has significant associations with historic. figures in I d . state, and national history: its historic buildings and structures retain considerable integrity: and its rural landscape has remained relatively unchanged despite recent development in surrounding areas. The district contains a broad range of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century architecture as well as early twentieth-century estates with grand manor houses evocative of the district's earlier history. Small rural settlements, each dominated by a railroad depot or country store. as well as more modest farms and rural lots where the traditional I-house or a bungalow may be evident, illustrates theevolution of the Virginia countryside from a plantation-dominated society to the more diverse rural community that characterizes the Southwest Mountains Rural District today. Today's amanlandscape is dominated by pasm rather than field crops. and many areas that were planted previously are now in woodlands. The emphasis on fox hunting as a recreational and social activity in the district has resulted in :he deliberate preservation of enough rural countryside to conduct the hunt. Early road corridors. and curving country lanes shaded by allees of towering cedars and mature deciduous trees, together with fields delineated by old fence and cedar lines enhance the integrity of the district. The district has strong associations with several of the nation's early intellectual and political figures--including Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Thomas Mann Randolph, and Nicholas Meriwether-who lived in or near the district and who maintained social, family, and business ties to district residents. In addition the district has strong linkages with the adjacent Madison-Barbour Rural Historic District (which extends for a forty-square-mile area from the ~ - Orange-Albemarle line north to the town of Orange). The Southwest Mountains district-serves as a geographic link between the historic residences of former United States presidents and friends Thomas Jefferson (Monticello) and James Madison (Montpelier in the Madison-Barbour District) and lies partially within Monticello's viewshed. Together the two districts represent not only the broad influence of Madison and Jefferson on their a-grarian scciety but also reflect L~~cmbilwmnm -~ ~ ~ - --~ - -~ - - --~ ~ -.. 2.

  • SP Bencoolynfarm D9.Pdf
    THOMAS JEFFERSON APRIL 9, 1797 View of Ben Coolyn Farm from main residence looking northwest towards vineyard and Southwest Mountains. THE FIRST EUROPEAN AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN SETTLERS arrived at the Chestnut or Little Mountains in the 1730s, gradually establishing small farms and dwellings in what was then western Goochland County, Virginia. Known today as the Southwest Mountains, an approximately 45-mile chain of northeast to southwest oriented peaks extending from Orange County on the north to the Rivanna River on the south, this geographic landmark is the easternmost BEN COOLYN ridge of the Appalachian Mountains in central Virginia. The eastern slope of the Southwest Mountains attracted many early settlers due to its fertile and well-drained soils, as well as the abundance of natural resources. In 1797 Thomas Jefferson, whose Monticello residence is located in the Carter’s Mountain ridge of the same chain, described the Southwest Mountains as “the Eden of the United States for soil, climate, navigation and health.” An area rich in heritage, this part of Albemarle County possesses numerous historic homes surrounded by agricultural landscapes. The Southwest Mountains district still retains a landscape characteristic of its agricultural past with forested mountains, rolling hills, numerous drainages and open fields, one which its original settlers would still recognize today. Many of the region’s cultural and natural place names present in the mid-eighteenth century still survive today and provide a tangible link to the past. Ben Coolyn is one of several prominent estates that occupy the foothills of the Southwest Mountains. Its siting on a low ridge with a 360-degree view make it one of the most beautiful situations in Albemarle County.

  • The Cairns of Dowell Mountain: the Shifting Cultural Landscape of Montane Central Virginia
    The Cairns of Dowell Mountain: The Shifting Cultural Landscape of Montane Central Virginia Ryan Grant American University CAS: Anthropology University Honors Advised by Dr. Daniel Sayers, Anthropology Department Completed Spring 2013 ABSTRACT: Dowell Mountain, seated in the heart of Virginia's Southwest Mountains, is home to roughly 600 enigmatic stone mounds on or near its slopes. These stone constructions, all built by human hands, represent an insight into the lives of the people who lived there. By studying the locations, orientations, dimensions, and apparent construction techniques of the cairns, along with any other artifacts and signs of land use nearby, this non­invasive archaeological survey attempts to determine the origins and purpose(s) of these mysterious stone piles. Extensive onsite mapping and measuring, coupled with in­depth academic historical research and anecdotal local histories of the area begin to shed light on human interaction in and with the hills. This research serves to describe the cultural and economic patterns that have shaped life in this small corner of Virginia over the years, and generate parallel insights into the cultural history of rural life in the mountainous Mid­Atlantic in general. Indeed, these mountains have witnessed the changing cultures that have occupied the region over millennia, from archaic and woodland Native Americans to the proud Monacan Confederacy, and later replaced by white planters and loggers. Previous studies have examined Monacan ceremonial culture and the several Eighteenth Century presidential homes in the area, but little research has been done on the lives of everyday people trying to survive in the mountains. Grant 1 Introduction: About three miles south of the hamlet of Barboursville, Virginia, lies Dowell Mountain, one of the central peaks of the Southwest Mountains range.
