The Goochland County Historical Society’s popular History Walk series resumes Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 3 PM at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 12291 River Rd, Richmond 23238.
The white frame church in the east end of the county near the Henrico County line at Tuckahoe Creek, was built in 1877 as a mission church to local farmers and coal miners. For almost 75 years the congregation struggled to survive with lay readers and part-time clergy. Steady growth began in 1960s when they called their first full-time rector, the Reverend Holt Souder. A large new sanctuary was added in 1991 and this year they called their fifth rector, the Reverend Daniel Reeves who was officially installed on September 23.
A reception will be held following an informal talk by long-time member Robin Lind and a tour of the old and new buildings which embrace the cemetery and Churchyard.
