New Store Village
Four miles west is the site of New Store Village, in early times an important stop on the stage coach road between Richmond and Lynchburg. Philip Watkins McKinney, governor of Virginia 1890-1894, was born here in 1832. Peter Francisco, Revolutionary War hero, grew to maturity at nearby Hunting Towers, home of Judge Anthony Winston, an uncle of Patrick Henry.
Marker is at the intersection of James Madison Highway (U.S. 15) and Francisco Road (County Route 626), on the right when traveling south on James Madison Highway.
