Ever heard of Victoria, VA? Probably not. It's just a bump on the road between where I live and Richmond. Its population is less than 2,000. But one thing it has going for it is a portion of the Tobacco Heritage Trail.
The town was named in honor of the queen of England, Queen Victoria herself. It was a place where crew changes took place on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Today it's a sleepy little town but one I had wanted to check off my bucket list for year. The trail was lovely.
It even has a little playground where I could indulge in one of my favorite pastimes.
The biggest employer today is the prison industry. But its old railway is still a popular attraction for school kids as well as for runners like myself.
Hope your day is going well!
