Tradition tells us the mighty chief Powhatan had his camping ground very near the city, and his tomb is pointed out to visitors just below the city on what is known as the Mayo home.

The Capitol Square was also the place from which. Many of the Confederate soldiers of the late war were mustered into service - under Lee and Jackson.
