Glencoe Museum

Glencoe Museum is located in a Victorian house in west downtown Radford, Virginia. The house was built in the 1870s in the 19th century Victorian style, specifically Second Empire, and was the home of Confederate Brigadier General Gabriel C. Wharton. It is a large, two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling, and originally had quite extensive grounds. The original house had a barn, chicken coop, smoke house, and an ice house. The name Glencoe is thought to be inspired by Anne Wharton's ancestry. Her family was originally from Scotland. The house didn't appear on Radford's tax records until 1876; it took a very long time to build a house of its size and grandeur in the 1800s. The house was kept in the family till 1996 when, after being deserted for 30 years, it was given to the city of Radford. The house features some Victorian period rooms and displays about Radford's history, including Native American artifacts, early settlers, Mary Draper Ingles, local industries, railroads, river transportation, educational institutions and local sports. There is also an art gallery with changing exhibits of the art and works of contemporary Appalachian artists. Glencoe was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

South Boston Speedway

South Boston Speedway är en ovalbana i South Boston, Virginia, USA. Det är den kortaste kända racerbanan i världen, med en längd på 575 meter. Historik South Boston arrangerade Nascar Cuptävlingar fram till 1971, men den togs sedan bort från schemat för att främja en nationell expansion för hela landet. Nascar Busch Series körde dock på banan ända fram till millennieskiftet. Idag körs enbart regionala serier på banan. Den korta längden gör att de två kurvorna nästan blir som hårnålar, vilket leder till en låg snittfart när bilar tävlar på banan. Referenser Externa länkar Officiell webbplats﻿

Truist Place (Richmond)

Truist Place is a 26-story office building in Richmond, Virginia. It is the third tallest building in Richmond, and the sixth tallest in Virginia. Construction costs were relatively high due to being clad in granite. History Truist Place occupies a block that was once the site of a carriage manufacturer known as Ainslie's Carriage Works along with other miscellaneous shops. In 1912, these structures were demolished to make room for the United Virginia Bank Insurance Headquarters. This building was subsequently demolished in 1981. In 1983, the current building was topped out and was established as the headquarters of the United Virginia Bank (UVB). A sculpture known as Quadrature was created by artist Robert Engman in 1985 and currently sits in front of the building. Later, UVB changed its name to Crestar Financial Corporation and thus the name of the building was changed to the Crestar Bank Headquarters. Crestar was acquired by SunTrust in 1998, whereupon the building was renamed SunTrust Center. The building was renamed Truist Place in late 2021 after SunTrust merged with BB&T to form Truist.

Wells Fargo Tower (Roanoke)

The Wells Fargo Tower (formerly named Dominion Tower, First Union Tower and Wachovia Tower) is a 21-story, 320-foot (98 m) office building in Downtown Roanoke, Virginia, United States. Completed in 1991, this stands as both the tallest building in Roanoke and the tallest building in Southwest Virginia. History The groundbreaking ceremony for its construction occurred on May 11, 1990. With both city and business leaders in attendance, a balloon released to a height of 320 feet (98 m) was also on display to give onlookers better context as to the finished height of the structure. By October construction had already brought the tower to its seventh floor. On October 29, a construction worker fell to his death from the seventh floor. This was the only fatality associated with the construction of the tower. The final concrete was poured for the tower in April 1991 and the first tenant moved in by October 1991. Profile Designed by the firm of Clark Tribble Harris & Li Architects, the tower is postmodern and is the tallest building in both Roanoke and all of Southwest Virginia. It is topped with a 50-foot (15 m) copper pyramid with a 48-foot (15 m) spire atop it, and was designed as a homage to the Hotel Roanoke, located to the north of the tower. At night, the tower is illuminated by 135 floodlights. Although the tower officially has its floor count at 21 stories, there is not a numbered 13th floor to quell the fear of persons that may have triskaidekaphobia. Naming After the purchase of Wachovia by Wells Fargo in late 2008, the name of the tower was set to change for the third time. In July 2011, the tower was officially renamed as the Wells Fargo Tower to reflect the official rebranding of Wachovia to Wells Fargo in Virginia.

Spotsylvania Confederate Cemetery

Der Spotsylvania Confederate Cemetery ist ein Friedhof im Spotsylvania County, im US-Bundesstaat Virginia, in den Vereinigten Staaten. Geschichte Nach Ende des Sezessionskrieges, blieben viele Tote der Schlacht bei Spotsylvania Court House in konstanter Erinnerung, bedingt durch Hunderte von toten konföderierten Soldaten die in primitiven Gräbern, kreuz und quer über den nahegelegenen Schlachtfeldern verstreut lagen. Lokale Witwen gründeten daraufhin die Spotsylvania Memorial Association. 1866 kauften sie ein etwa 200 Ar großes Grundstück um die Toten ehrwürdig bestatten zu können. Die Association sorgte für die Wiederbestattung von etwa 600 Soldaten auf diesem Areal. Von denen wurden nur wenige als Unbekannt begraben. Die damalige US-Regierung bewilligte die Finanzmittel und war zuständig für die Lieferung der Grabsteine. Im Zentrum des Friedhofs wurde ein Granitsteinmonument errichtet, mit einem konföderierten Soldaten, der symbolisch Wache über die Gräber hält. Sonstiges Der Friedhof befindet sich in der Courthouse Road und ist täglich geöffnet.

Powhatan State Park is a state park located along the James River in Virginia. It is in Powhatan County. The park is 1,565 acres (6 km2) total with two miles (3.2 km) of riverfront. Powhatan opened in 2013 after a 10-year process of transferring it from use by the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice to a Virginia state park. History In 2003, 1,565 acres (6 km2) were transferred from the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for the creation of the state park. The goal in creating the park was to provide access to state park facilities in central Virginia and to create both day-use and overnight facilities on the James River. Preparations were completed and Powhatan State Park was opened on 6 July 2013. Attractions Trails The park has five trails open. These total about 7.3 miles (11.7 km) of multi-use (hiking, biking, horse riding) trails through a number of diverse habitats including field edge, upland pine and mature hardwoods. The trails provide opportunities for viewing wildlife. Equestrian parking is now open and horses are welcome on several trails. Boating and fishing The park has about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of James River waterfront accessible by a canoe slide launch. Fishing access to the river bank is limited because of high bluffs, but easier access is being worked on. Fishing licenses are required and are available from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Visitors launching a canoe or kayak from the park may enjoy a five-mile float down river to the Maidens boat launch. Camping The park has a canoe-in campground which is accessible via the James River. This campground provides six primitive (no electricity or water) camping sites. There are restroom facilities but no bathhouses. The park boasts a new full service campground, which opened on November 1, 2016.

Die St. John’s Episcopal Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der Episkopalkirche der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika in Richmond (Virginia) in den Vereinigten Staaten. Historische Bedeutung Die St. John’s Episcopal Church wurde 1741 erbaut und ist die älteste Kirche in Richmond. Aufgrund ihrer historischen Bedeutung, vor allem im Zusammenhang mit dem Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg, hat die St. John’s seit Januar 1961 den Status eines National Historic Landmarks und ist seither eine von 121 historischen Stätten dieser Art in Virginia. Im Oktober 1966 wurde die Kirche als Gebäude in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Außerdem ist St. John’s Episcopal Church Contributing Property des St. John’s Church Historic Districts, der im September 1970 kreiert wurde. Besonders bekannt wurde sie am 23. März 1775 als Schauplatz der Give me Liberty, or give me Death!-Rede von Patrick Henry. 1781, während der Besetzung Richmonds, nutzte der spätere Überläufer General Benedict Arnold das Kirchengebäude als Quartier für seine Truppen. Die Kirche und der zugehörige Friedhof mit Gräbern von bekannten Persönlichkeiten wie unter anderem George Wythe (einer der Gründerväter der Vereinigten Staaten) oder Eliza Poe (Mutter des Schriftstellers Edgar Allan Poe) sind heute ein beliebtes Touristenziel mit Einblicken in die Zeit des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges.

St. John's Episcopal Church (Richmond, Virginia)

St. John's Episcopal Church är den äldsta bevarade kyrkobyggnaden i Virginias huvudstad Richmond. Byggnaden tillhör Episkopalkyrkan i USA. I sin ursprungliga form blev kyrkan färdig den 10 juni 1741. Kyrkan upptogs till National Register of Historic Places den 15 oktober 1966. Redan fem år tidigare hade kyrkan klassificerats som ett National Historic Landmark. Bakgrund Ett viktigt politiskt möte gällande Virginias framtid hölls i kyrkan i mars 1775. En av mötesdeltagarna, Patrick Henry, höll ett eldfängt tal som senare har blivit känt som Give me Liberty, or give me Death! Talet påskyndade USA:s självständighet. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee och Peyton Randolph fanns med bland de övriga mötesdeltagarna. Kyrkan var den enda byggnaden i Richmond som var tillräckligt stor för ett dylikt möte. Med tanke på koloniguvernören Lord Dunmores närvaro i Williamsburg valde man inte att hålla mötet i Virginias dåvarande huvudstad. Kyrkan tog skada år 1781 då Benedict Arnold, som var på den brittiska sidan i amerikanska revolutionskriget, inhyste sina trupper i kyrkan. Reparationsarbetet inleddes år 1785 under Edmund Randolph. Två av Virginias guvernörer ligger begravda på kyrkogården St. John's Churchyard: John Page och James Wood.
