Echols Farm, Historic barn in Glasgow, Virginia.
The wooden farmhouse at Echols Farm spans across 253 acres near the intersection of US Route 501 and Virginia State Route 130.
Edward Echols established this farm in 1855, managing canal locks and mining iron in the mountains for the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
The property includes remains of the James River and Kanawha Canal system, with two preserved locks marking its transportation significance.
The farmhouse sustained fire damage in January 2022, resulting in multiple charges against a Glasgow resident for arson and property destruction.
The body of Confederate General Thomas Jackson passed through the farm's canal locks during transportation to his burial site in Lexington in 1863.
