Tavern on the James opened its doors on June 18, 2012. No big party, no bells and whistles – just 50 people anxiously awaiting. For the next two weeks they were completely surprised, overwhelmed, joyous, sleep-deprived, nervous and excited are a few of the adjectives that come to mind. Downtown Scottsville is a wonderful town and the surrounding counties and diverse population continue to make this business fruitful.

The Hatton Ferry is the last pole operated ferry in America. America moved west on these ferries and it is only fitting that the last one is still working on America’s River, the birth place of the first permanent English settlement, Jamestown on the James River. The ferry has crossed the river for over 140 years. It has carried farm products, the mail and vehicles both horse drawn and motorized from Buckingham County to Albemarle County and back. This is living history worth saving for future generations.
