Lyle,
Do you know if Spottswood's Tubal Germanna site is
protected by the State or Spotsylvania County? I
know Mary Washington was working on the Enchanted
Castle, but I can't recall anything ever being
mentioned about the furnace site, the Tubal
blockhouse, or the first German settlement. I read
some of the materials published by the Memorial
Foundation of the Germanna Colonies from the early
60s that indicated they had identifies some of the
most important structures (they even planted a
cherry tree on the blockhouse foundation - sigh).
Development is fast expanding out that way and the
blockhouse site has great views, so it will be a
tempting pize for a developer.
