Goochland Courthouse
Near here the ancient trail used by
the Iroquis Indians in their raids
crossed James River. This trail later
became the main north-south road
through Virginia. In 1781, Lord Corn-
wallis, in his invasion of Virginia,
marched by this point and his cavalry,
under Simcoe, passed here going to
Point of Fork. A cavalry skirmish
took place here, March 11, 1865.
