Town of Eastville, Virginia. Flat terrain, 30' above sea level. Our
Jamestown 2007 project!
WELCOME TO EASTVILLE!
We house the NATION'S OLDEST CONTINUOUS COURT RECORDS, dating from
1632. During the Civil War, Richmond wanted all court records for
safe keeping. We refused. Richmond burned. We didn't! Our records
are originals and if you come during business hours((M-F 9:00-5:00)
you can see actual Indian signatures as well as Daniel Boone's and
the buildings that have housed them for HUNDREDS of years. Always a
very independent community, we held a public demonstration against
taxation without representation OVER A CENTURY before the Boston
Tea Party. Our shores were important to Jamestown, initially for
salt, and then for food (corn) and money (wampum shells). The local
Indian were friendly (the local chief being nicknamed THE LAUGHING
KING) and warned us of planned massacres. The Old Court Green is
one of the oldest, most complete in the nation. Our Geocache is
available daily during daylight hours. We have placed 2 hitchhikers
in our cache. Esmy Shichans, King of the "Easterne Shoare", would
like to go to Gravesend, England to see Pocahontas' grave.
Debedeavon, king of the Occohannocks, would like to go to the
Pacific Ocean. We would like them to return home after many
adventures.
