Welcome to <strong>Goochland</strong><br />
Nestled among the rolling<br />
hills along the<br />

James River, <strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
is consistently described as one<br />
of the best places to live in<br />
Virginia. That’s no secret to<br />
the many who call <strong>Goochland</strong><br />
home, and the county’s offerings<br />
are quickly becoming a<br />
magnet for the many newcomers<br />
who also call this county<br />
home.<br />
Whether it’s an exciting canoe<br />
trip down the James River<br />
or a lovely stroll on one of<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong>’s hundreds of riding<br />
and walking trails, <strong>Goochland</strong><br />
offers something for everyone.<br />
Families enjoy the benefits of<br />
one of the Commonwealth’s<br />
best school systems with a vast<br />
array of programs and activities<br />
for school aged children.<br />
Civic associations, youth athletic<br />
leagues and local stalwarts<br />
like the YMCA complete the<br />
idyllic picture of rural life with<br />
all the amenities of a metro<br />
city.<br />
Recognized as one of Virginia’s<br />
premiere business developments,<br />
West Creek offers<br />
easy access to Route 288<br />
and Interstate 64, making<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> a prime locale for<br />

<strong>Goochland</strong> makes good business<br />
sense. There’s always room<br />
for more.<br />
Great schools, a solid plan of<br />
development that maintains<br />
and protects the county’s rural<br />
character and a local government<br />
responsible to its citizens<br />
all make <strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong> a<br />
great place to live and work.<br />
Jim Ridolphi<br />
Media General Staff Writer<br />
Whether you’re discovering <strong>Goochland</strong> for the first time<br />
or you’ve been here for years, I believe you will find<br />
that it is a desirable place to work, live or visit. A drive<br />
through the <strong>County</strong> will convince you that a combination of suburban<br />
convenience and rural character and charm exist today.<br />
The Board of Supervisors is committed to serving all citizens of<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong>. <strong>Government</strong> in <strong>Goochland</strong> is considered<br />
an interactive process where input from citizens is welcomed<br />
and encouraged. We strive to preserve the rural appeal and<br />
charm that makes <strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong> unique while promoting<br />
suburban conveniences. At times this requires compromise and<br />
consideration but the best interests of our citizens are always<br />
foremost in our minds.<br />
There is an abundance of unique places to visit and sights to discover<br />
throughout the <strong>County</strong>. You’ll find the country side dotted<br />
with agricultural, dairy, and equine farms both big and small.<br />
Our community’s commitment to agriculture is exemplified in<br />
the successful farmers market held on Saturdays from the spring<br />
to fall in the Courthouse area. Local businesses, coffee shops, and<br />
restaurants are waiting to be discovered throughout the <strong>County</strong><br />
and can be found in both the Courthouse area and Centerville<br />
area. In addition to these community attributes we are fortunate<br />
to benefit from the James River as our southern boundary which<br />
offers wonderful recreational opportunities including boating,<br />
fishing, and swimming. The <strong>County</strong> is focused on expanding<br />
other recreational and athletic opportunities in the future with<br />
two park developments centrally located for all to access.<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong>’s citizens exemplify the ideal of the rural spirit<br />
through their commitment and dedication to local organizations.<br />
Whether volunteering to work a in a local food bank or packing<br />
boxes for the Christmas Mother, they give back to their community.<br />
Others may take it a step further by serving as volunteer Fire<br />
and Rescue members or as coaches of a local youth athletic league<br />
team. No matter the manner or organizations, our citizens’ give<br />
back to their community making <strong>Goochland</strong> a better <strong>County</strong> to<br />
live in and visit.<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong> is ideally located between Richmond and<br />
Charlottesville with the natural setting of the West Creek Business<br />
Park located in our Eastern end. This park is home to a number<br />
of corporations and the location of a soon to be constructed hospital<br />
and medical facility providing medical care and job opportunities<br />
for our citizens. The <strong>County</strong> is targeting West Creek<br />
and land north of this park, along with the Courthouse Area<br />
and Oilville Area, for current and future economic development.<br />
By doing this the <strong>County</strong> aims to preserve <strong>Goochland</strong>’s rural<br />
character and charm while promoting business and commercial<br />
development which is vital to the future of our community.<br />
On behalf of the Board of Supervisors, welcome to <strong>Goochland</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong>. This guide will provide important information as you<br />
discover all we have to offer.<br />

Field Day of the Past<br />
September 17,18<br />
and 19, 2010<br />
Field Day of<br />
the Past is a family<br />
event sponsored<br />
by the Rockville-<br />
Centerville Steam<br />
and Gas Historical<br />
Association. This<br />
show mixes the<br />
warm, down-home<br />
atmosphere of the<br />
county fairs of yesteryear<br />
with exhibits and displays of museum quality. In the<br />
summer of 1992, a few steam and gas engine collectors gathered<br />
for an informal discussion on the possibility of hosting a steam<br />
and gas engine show in <strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong>, VA. They organized<br />
the Rockville-Centerville Steam and Gas Historical Association<br />
and hosted its first show, which attracted 5,000 people. Today the<br />
show has expanded into a 3 day event, held the third full weekend<br />
in September and draws a crowd of approximately 30,000 people<br />
annually.<br />
Historical displays and exhibits, re-enactments, tractor and<br />
truck pulls, small engine displays, arts and crafts, flea market,<br />
antique and modern construction equipment demonstrations,<br />
a log cabin with ongoing heritage craft demonstrations can be<br />
experienced throughout the weekend. Volunteers demonstrate the<br />
daily routines of the life of a family surviving in early rural Virginia<br />
which include wheat and peanut threshing, meat smoking, the<br />
making of sorghum molasses, washing clothes, canning, saw milling<br />
and other chores.<br />

Charged with providing excellence<br />
in education, the <strong>Goochland</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> Public Schools continue<br />
to raise the bar in every facet<br />
of instruction and the day-today<br />
lives of our students, who<br />
are without a doubt our county’s<br />
greatest asset.<br />
GCPS serves approximately<br />
2,500 students in grades PK<br />
through 12. The system has three<br />
elementary schools (grades K-<br />
5), a middle school (grades 6-8),<br />
a high school (grades 9-12), an<br />
alternative school, and a Specialty<br />
Education Center that houses<br />
preschool programs.<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> High and<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> Middle are two stateof-the-art<br />
facilities on one complex.<br />
Although the schools operate<br />
as two separate schools, they<br />
share an auditorium, kitchen,<br />
some classroom space, and athletic<br />
fields. The 6-12 grade configuration<br />
reduces transportation<br />
costs and allows for more shared<br />
use of staff.<br />
All five of <strong>Goochland</strong>’s schools<br />
are fully accredited, based on student<br />
performance on the Virginia<br />
Standards of Learning (SOL)<br />
tests, in addition to being accredited<br />
by the Southern Association<br />
of Colleges and Schools.<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong> features<br />
small schools and favorable class<br />
sizes. Elementary schools range<br />
in size from 250 to 410 students,<br />
with average class sizes of 16-20<br />
in grades K-2 and 22-24 in grades<br />
3-5. <strong>Goochland</strong> Middle School<br />
serves approximately 600 students<br />
with average class sizes of 22-25.<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> High School serves<br />
approximately 750 students, with<br />
average class sizes of 21-23.<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> is a leader in the<br />
Commonwealth in the use of<br />
technology to enhance instruction,<br />
with a student-to-computer<br />
ratio of 2:1. All schools have<br />
excellent networks that provide<br />
easy access to Internet-based<br />
learning resources. Through the<br />
“Powerschool” database, student<br />
grades and attendance data can<br />
be accessed by parents in real<br />
time. GMS also has Promethean<br />
boards, a software and hardware<br />
system that mimics the traditional<br />
chalkboard in its use of a teacher’s<br />
computer and interactive display,<br />
in every classroom. Meanwhile,<br />
more Promethean boards are<br />
being added to GHS and the<br />
county’s other schools every year.<br />
The elementary instructional<br />
program in <strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
provides a strong, phonics-based<br />
reading curriculum, in addition<br />
to art, music, and physical education<br />
programs taught by teachers<br />
endorsed in those areas. Core<br />
instruction is differentiated based<br />
on student achievement, learning<br />
needs, aptitude and interest.<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> Middle Schools<br />
offers a comprehensive curriculum<br />
including accelerated courses<br />
and a wide variety of exploratory<br />
and full-year electives and an<br />
interscholastic athletic program<br />
for both boys and girls.<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> High School<br />
offers a full range of Advanced<br />
Placement and honors level classes<br />
and dual enrollment college<br />
classes, in addition to a wide variety<br />
of elective offerings in foreign<br />
languages, the arts, electronic and<br />
print journalism, and computerrelated<br />
vocational areas. Students<br />
can also learn building trades<br />
through internships with local<br />
contractors, pursue EMT and<br />
firefighter training, or take one of<br />
13 business courses. <strong>Goochland</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> high school students are<br />
also eligible to participate in one<br />
of two Governor’s School programs.<br />
We here at GCPS welcome the<br />
opportunity, privilege, and challenge<br />
of being the educators of<br />
our county’s children. We take<br />
very seriously the task of meeting<br />
the intellectual, personal, social,<br />
and career preparation needs of<br />
all our students.<br />
GCPS is committed to providing<br />
all students with an education<br />
that assures quality learning and<br />
living in the 21st century.<br />

Can You Tell Me How to<br />
Get to 35-Mile Drive?<br />
By Aynsley M. Fisher<br />
The 35-Mile Drive Association was formed<br />
in 2009 to celebrate <strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong> as a<br />
tourism and “getaway-for-the-day” destination.<br />
With unparalleled scenic beauty, rural<br />
culture, arts, entertainment and sporting life,<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> is one of central Virginia’s bestkept<br />
secrets.<br />
With over 30 members to date including such<br />
organizations as the Center for Rural Culture,<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> Historical Society, Chamber of<br />
Commerce, Tucker Park at Maiden’s Crossing<br />
and members of the hospitality industry spanning<br />
music, art, history, food, lodging, transportation,<br />
wineries, gardens, alpacas, retreats,<br />
and sporting destinations, the 35-Mile Drive<br />
Association offers visitors and members the<br />
opportunity to learn about and experience all<br />
that <strong>Goochland</strong> <strong>County</strong> has to offer.<br />
So what exactly is 35-Mile Drive? If you<br />
look at a map of the county, you won’t find a<br />
road marked “35-Mile Drive.” 35-Mile Drive<br />
began as a series for the <strong>Goochland</strong> Courier<br />
in which writer Aynsley Fisher and photographer<br />
Wayne Dementi followed River Road<br />

West from the county line at Henrico through<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong> to the town of Columbia- roughly,<br />
you guessed it, 35 miles. When the series concluded,<br />
they had sixteen installments and a<br />
newfound sense of discovery and wonder for<br />
the county they thought they knew so well.<br />
Consequently, the association was formed to<br />
promote the experiences, hospitality and destinations<br />
that make <strong>Goochland</strong> unique through<br />
special events and programs.<br />
In June 2010, the association launched their<br />
website www.35miledrive.com. Visit the site<br />
for information on the association, joining or<br />
becoming a sponsor, members (organizations,<br />
small businesses, individuals and sponsors,)<br />
special events, feature articles and a map. Visit<br />
their blog at www.35miledrive.wordpress.com<br />
or you can follow the link from the website.<br />
On Saturday, October 23, the 35-Mile<br />
Drive will host the first annual “Joyride.” The<br />
Joyride will feature several locations throughout<br />
<strong>Goochland</strong>, each stop a destination in<br />
itself. There will be activities, arts, animals,<br />
entertainment, food and refreshment for a day<br />
full of discovery, fun and beautiful fall scenery.<br />
So put your joy in drive… all 35 miles! Check<br />
the website for event details.<br />
