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.
