Vestal's Gap Road
VESTAL'S GAP ROAD
Extending from Alexandria to Vestal's
Ferry near Charles Town West Virginia,
this colonial highway was a principal
route from the Northern Neck of Virginia
through the Blue Ridge to the Ohio Country.
In the early 1700's, the Road became the
major artery in the movement of settlers
and armies to the frontiers. Vestal's Gap
Road fell into disuse after Leesburg Pike
opened to the north about 1825.
