Pettigrew Wildlife Management Area

Pettigrew Wildlife Management Area is a 934-acre (3.78 km2) Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Caroline County, Virginia. Most of the long and narrow area's land was once part of Fort Walker. It is largely dominated by forests, including hardwood stands dominated by oak and beech, as well as stands consisting mostly of Virginia and loblolly pine. Lower vegetation including greenbriar, honeysuckle, and Virginia creeper may be seen reclaiming the property's formerly open areas. On the southern edge of the area lies Mount Creek; its drainage, aided by beavers, is the primary wetland for the area. Ware Creek, at the north end, is another major water source, and the tributaries of both streams may also be seen on the property. Pettigrew WMA is owned and maintained by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The area is open to the public for hunting, trapping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and primitive camping. Access for persons 17 years of age or older requires a valid hunting or fishing permit, or a WMA access permit.

Philpott Dam

Philpott Dam is a concrete, gravity dam on the Smith River in Franklin and Henry counties in the U.S. state of Virginia. It impounds Philpott Lake. Philpott Dam is located about 44 miles (71 km) above the mouth of the Smith River. It is about 7 miles (11 km) upstream from Bassett, Virginia. The Dam and Philpott Lake were created to control flooding along the Smith River, to generate hydroelectric power, and to provide recreational activities in a series of parks around the lake: Philpott Park, Bowens Creek Park, Goose Point Park, Ryans Park, Jamison Mill Park, Horseshoe Point Park, Twin Ridge Park, Salthouse Branch Park, and Tailrace Park (listed clockwise around the lake beginning at the south end of the dam). Construction on Philpott Dam began in 1948 and was completed in 1952. The Philpott Dam Powerhouse was completed and started generating electricity in 1953. The Philpott project is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District. The dam includes a spillway, a powerhouse, and switchyard. The top elevation of Philpott Dam is 1016 feet (310 m) msl and has an overall length of 920 feet (280 m). The maximum height above the streambed is 220 feet (67 m). The spillway has a crest elevation of 985 feet, msl and a total length of 120 feet (37 m) The power house has two vertical shaft Francis turbines rated at 6700 kW each and a smaller unit rated at 600 kW. Electricity from the dam is marketed by the Southeastern Power Administration. The dam is also a noted tourist and recreational area, and a place of great beauty. Over the years, a number of artists and photographers have used the dam site for their compositions. Jessamine Shumate, a local artist, did an early watercolor painting of the Philpott Dam in Henry County, and a second, unfinished painting. These two paintings were done during the construction phase of the dam, and both paintings show the temporary cement factory that was constructed to produce the cement locally. The cement mill was then taken down and removed after the dam was constructed. Her paintings are the only representations from this phase of construction, since most other photographic work concentrated on the construction of the dam itself, and not in the engineering aspects of the construction site. These paintings have recently (2010) been donated to the Philpott Dam. "Relatives of the late artist Ada Jessamine Shumate, who contributed two of her paintings of the construction of Philpott Dam to the dam’s visitor’s center. Jessamine Shumate was a native of Henry County, Virginia, who painted the construction during the 1950s. Sharing the paintings with the public is a fitting tribute to her work and a good way for people to get a sense of what went into creating the dam." References "Philpott Project".

The $68.6 million facility was completed in the summer of 2007, and opened in September, 2007.

The prison will provide counseling and group programs, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Anger Control, Breaking Barriers, and Phases I and II of Psycho-Educational Substance Abuse. Because of the number of prisoners, and lack of staff and resources, many inmates go months, and some even years without enrolling in any program or classes, and because of this, many get released without getting any type of rehabilitation or education. Basic education/GED preparation, Literary Incentive Program, and college courses will be offered to inmates. Additionally, vocational courses will be provided, including electricity, small engine and motorcycle repair, floor covering, general maintenance, carpentry, plumbing and computer literacy.
