What is this piece of land hidden back on a dirt road in the woods?
What is it's history? How do we remember it today?
Brunswick County is the home of one of the largest frontier
forts ever built in Virginia, Fort
Christanna (named for Christ and Queen Anne.)
Alexander Spotswood, Virginia's Royal Govenor from 1710-1722,
built the pentagonal shaped fort in 1714. Each of the five sides
was made of a palisade of split logs, 300 feet to a side. At each
corner, small bastion houses held a 1400 pound cannon. The fort
enclosed nearly 3.5 acres meant to be a center of trade and
protection and to offer education to the resident native
indians.
The Tributary Indians moved to Fort Christanna and banded under
the name Tutelo/Saponie. They built a village, Junkatapurse, not
far from the fort, where they learned to speak English, as well as
teaching their language to the white inhabitants.
The Fort Christanna Historical Site was officially dedicated on
April 25, 2009 with Governor Kaine issuing a proclamation declaring
that day as Fort Christanna Day. Many items and illustrations from
archaeological digs can be seen at the Brunswick County Museum
located on Courthouse Square in Lawrenceville.
The fort site itself is listed on the Virginia Birds & Wildlife
Trail and offers itself as a park that can be used and enjoyed by
both county residents and tourists, by native Americans for special
ceremonies, by school children and by those who enjoy the wildlife
as much as the rich history. The site continues to be a
work-in-progress as Brunswick County expands and develops both the
historic/cultural and natural history aspects of this county
treasure.
