Goochland VA250 Committee Invites you to Lafayette's Return and Marker Unveiling

This year marks the 200th anniversary of General Lafayette's return visit to the United States, at the invitation of President James Monroe. As he traveled across America, localities rolled out the red carpet. On November 2, 1824, the Henrico Militia escorted General Lafayette to Powell's Tavern in Goochland, beginning his trip through the county.

Join the Goochland 250 Committee and the Goochland County Historical Society to experience that visit. The General will be on hand to address attendees who will enjoy a brunch featuring some of his favorite foods, view the grounds of Historic Tuckahoe, and raise a glass to toast the famous man. Attendance will be limited to 200 participants. Entry fee includes a commemorative glass. Following the event at Historic Tuckahoe, General Lafayette will travel to the Goochland Courthouse for the dedication of a historical marker.

To register for the event at Historic Tuckahoe, please visit this link, no registration is needed for the historical marker unveiling. For more information on Goochland's VA 250 Committee, please visit https://www.exploregoochland.com/187/VA-250-American-Revolution.

Buy Gas Locally and Help Fund Goochland Transportation Projects

Did you know that buying gas at a local gas station, directly benefits transportation projects in your community?

The General Assembly established the Central Virginia Transportation Authority (CVTA) in 2020 with the goal of administering locally generated transportation funding. With the CVTA, 50% of the taxes collected through gasoline purchases are distributed back to the localities to fund local transportation projects.
