Discover Goochland County 2010–2011

Welcome to GoochlandNestled among the roll-

ing hills along the northern side of the

James River, Goochland County is consistently described as one of the best places to live in Virginia. That’s no secret to the many who call Goochland home, and the county’s offer-ings are quickly becoming a magnet for the many newcom-ers who also call this county home.

Whether it’s an exciting canoe trip down the James River or a lovely stroll on one of Goochland’s hundreds of riding and walking trails, Goochland offers something for everyone.

Families enjoy the benefits of one of the Commonwealth’s best school systems with a vast array of programs and activi-ties for school aged children. Civic associations, youth ath-letic leagues and local stalwarts like the YMCA complete the idyllic picture of rural life with all the amenities of a metro city.

Recognized as one of Virginia’s premiere business develop-ments, West Creek offers easy access to Route 288 and Interstate 64, making Goochland a prime locale for growing businesses. Many businesses, including CarMax and Capital One have discov-ered that doing business in Goochland makes good busi-ness sense. There’s always room for more.

Great schools, a solid plan of development that maintains and protects the county’s rural character and a local govern-ment responsible to its citizens all make Goochland County a great place to live and work.

Jim RidolphiMedia General Staff Writer

Whether you’re discovering Goochland for the first time or you’ve been here for years, I believe you will find that it is a desirable place to work, live or visit. A drive

through the County will convince you that a combination of sub-urban convenience and rural character and charm exist today.

The Board of Supervisors is committed to serving all citizens of Goochland County. Government in Goochland is considered an interactive process where input from citizens is welcomed and encouraged. We strive to preserve the rural appeal and charm that makes Goochland County unique while promoting suburban conveniences. At times this requires compromise and consideration but the best interests of our citizens are always foremost in our minds.

There is an abundance of unique places to visit and sights to dis-cover throughout the County. You’ll find the country side dotted with agricultural, dairy, and equine farms both big and small. Our community’s commitment to agriculture is exemplified in the successful farmers market held on Saturdays from the spring to fall in the Courthouse area. Local businesses, coffee shops, and restaurants are waiting to be discovered throughout the County and can be found in both the Courthouse area and Centerville area. In addition to these community attributes we are fortunate to benefit from the James River as our southern boundary which offers wonderful recreational opportunities including boating, fishing, and swimming. The County is focused on expanding other recreational and athletic opportunities in the future with two park developments centrally located for all to access.

Goochland’s citizens exemplify the ideal of the rural spirit through their commitment and dedication to local organizations. Whether volunteering to work a in a local food bank or packing boxes for the Christmas Mother, they give back to their commu-nity. Others may take it a step further by serving as volunteer Fire and Rescue members or as coaches of a local youth athletic league team. No matter the manner or organizations, our citizens’ give back to their community making Goochland a better County to live in and visit.

Goochland County is ideally located between Richmond and Charlottesville with the natural setting of the West Creek Business Park located in our Eastern end. This park is home to a number of corporations and the location of a soon to be constructed hos-pital and medical facility providing medical care and job oppor-tunities for our citizens. The County is targeting West Creek and land north of this park, along with the Courthouse Area and Oilville Area, for current and future economic development. By doing this the County aims to preserve Goochland’s rural character and charm while promoting business and commercial development which is vital to the future of our community.

On behalf of the Board of Supervisors, welcome to Goochland County. This guide will provide important information as you discover all we have to offer.

Field Day of the PastSeptember 17,18

and 19, 2010Field Day of

the Past is a fam-ily event sponsored by the Rockville-Centerville Steam and Gas Historical Association. This show mixes the warm, down-home atmosphere of the county fairs of yes-teryear with exhibits and displays of museum quality. In the summer of 1992, a few steam and gas engine collectors gathered for an informal discussion on the possibility of hosting a steam and gas engine show in Goochland County, VA. They organized the Rockville-Centerville Steam and Gas Historical Association and hosted its first show, which attracted 5,000 people. Today the show has expanded into a 3 day event, held the third full weekend in September and draws a crowd of approximately 30,000 people annually.

Historical displays and exhibits, re-enactments, tractor and truck pulls, small engine displays, arts and crafts, flea market, antique and modern construction equipment demonstrations, a log cabin with ongoing heritage craft demonstrations can be experienced throughout the weekend. Volunteers demonstrate the daily routines of the life of a family surviving in early rural Virginia which include wheat and peanut threshing, meat smoking, the making of sorghum molasses, washing clothes, canning, saw mill-ing and other chores.

Charged with providing excel-lence in education, the Goochland County Public Schools continue to raise the bar in every facet of instruction and the day-to-day lives of our students, who are without a doubt our county’s greatest asset.

GCPS serves approximate-ly 2,500 students in grades PK through 12. The system has three elementary schools (grades K-5), a middle school (grades 6-8), a high school (grades 9-12), an alternative school, and a Specialty Education Center that houses preschool programs.

Goochland High and Goochland Middle are two state-of-the-art facilities on one com-plex. Although the schools oper-ate as two separate schools, they share an auditorium, kitchen, some classroom space, and ath-letic fields. The 6-12 grade con-figuration reduces transportation costs and allows for more shared use of staff.

All five of Goochland’s schools are fully accredited, based on stu-dent performance on the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, in addition to being accred-ited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Goochland County features small schools and favorable class sizes. Elementary schools range in size from 250 to 410 students, with average class sizes of 16-20 in grades K-2 and 22-24 in grades 3-5. Goochland Middle School serves approximately 600 students with average class sizes of 22-25. Goochland High School serves approximately 750 students, with average class sizes of 21-23.

Goochland is a leader in the Commonwealth in the use of technology to enhance instruc-tion, with a student-to-comput-er ratio of 2:1. All schools have excellent networks that provide easy access to Internet-based learning resources. Through the “Powerschool” database, student grades and attendance data can be accessed by parents in real time. GMS also has Promethean boards, a software and hardware system that mimics the traditional chalkboard in its use of a teacher’s computer and interactive display,

in every classroom. Meanwhile, more Promethean boards are being added to GHS and the county’s other schools every year.

The elementary instructional program in Goochland County provides a strong, phonics-based reading curriculum, in addition to art, music, and physical educa-tion programs taught by teach-ers endorsed in those areas. Core instruction is differentiated based on student achievement, learning needs, aptitude and interest.

Goochland Middle Schools offers a comprehensive curricu-lum including accelerated courses and a wide variety of exploratory and full-year electives and an interscholastic athletic program for both boys and girls.

Goochland High School offers a full range of Advanced Placement and honors level class-es and dual enrollment college classes, in addition to a wide vari-ety of elective offerings in foreign languages, the arts, electronic and print journalism, and computer-related vocational areas. Students can also learn building trades

through internships with localcontractors, pursue EMT and firefighter training, or take one of 13 business courses. GoochlandCounty high school students arealso eligible to participate in oneof two Governor’s School pro-grams.

We here at GCPS welcome theopportunity, privilege, and chal-lenge of being the educators of our county’s children. We take very seriously the task of meetingthe intellectual, personal, social,and career preparation needs of all our students.

GCPS is committed to provid-ing all students with an educationthat assures quality learning andliving in the 21st century.

The 35-Mile Drive Association: Celebrating Goochland

Can You Tell Me How to Get to 35-Mile Drive?

By Aynsley M. Fisher

The 35-Mile Drive Association was formed in 2009 to celebrate Goochland County as a tourism and “getaway-for-the-day” destina-tion. With unparalleled scenic beauty, rural culture, arts, entertainment and sporting life, Goochland is one of central Virginia’s best-kept secrets.

With over 30 members to date including such organizations as the Center for Rural Culture, Goochland Historical Society, Chamber of Commerce, Tucker Park at Maiden’s Crossing and members of the hospitality industry span-ning music, art, history, food, lodging, trans-portation, wineries, gardens, alpacas, retreats, and sporting destinations, the 35-Mile Drive Association offers visitors and members the opportunity to learn about and experience all that Goochland County has to offer.

So what exactly is 35-Mile Drive? If you look at a map of the county, you won’t find a road marked “35-Mile Drive.” 35-Mile Drive began as a series for the Goochland Courier in which writer Aynsley Fisher and photog-rapher Wayne Dementi followed River Road

West from the county line at Henrico through Goochland to the town of Columbia- roughly, you guessed it, 35 miles. When the series con-cluded, they had sixteen installments and a newfound sense of discovery and wonder for the county they thought they knew so well. Consequently, the association was formed to promote the experiences, hospitality and desti-nations that make Goochland unique through special events and programs.

In June 2010, the association launched their website www.35miledrive.com. Visit the site for information on the association, joining or becoming a sponsor, members (organizations, small businesses, individuals and sponsors,) special events, feature articles and a map. Visit their blog at www.35miledrive.wordpress.comor you can follow the link from the website.

On Saturday, October 23, the 35-Mile Drive will host the first annual “Joyride.” The Joyride will feature several locations through-out Goochland, each stop a destination in itself. There will be activities, arts, animals, entertainment, food and refreshment for a day full of discovery, fun and beautiful fall scenery. So put your joy in drive… all 35 miles! Check the website for event details.

The Goochland County Historical Society, located just east of the courthouse at 2875 River Road West, is a non-profit organization founded in 1968 for the purpose of preserving Goochland County’s heritage and tradition. Over the years, the Society has collected manuscripts, artifacts, genealogical, and architectural information about Goochland.

These resources are available to the public at the Society’s Historical Center. The Center houses offices, a research library,

map and photograph collections and a museum shop. Society volunteers are available to welcome visitors to Goochland, assist researchers and answer mail and telephone inquiries concern-ing county history or genealogical research. The map collec-tion features maps from 1820 to present with roads, churches, mills, and transportation depots. The photograph collection contains pictures of identified persons, events and building in Goochland. Additionally, the Historical Society maintains the Old Stone Jail located adjacent to the historic Goochland Courthouse.
