County is especially
intriguing and comes to life for visitors through annual festivals,
reenactments and tours of the many landmarks. Among these is Henricus, the site of the second English settlement,
founded in 1611. Located along the banks of the James
River in the southeastern portion of the county, Henricus hosts several annual events complete with period
costume, housing and foods!
