Goochland Courthouse
Near here the ancient trail used by the Iroquois Indians in their raids crossed James River. This trail later became the main north-south road through Virginia. In 1781, Lord Cornwallis, 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.
Marker is on River Road West (Virginia Route 6) 0.1 miles east of Scott Road, on the right when traveling west.
