Here at Barboursville lie the ruins of the family
home of James Barbour, Virginia's governor
during the War of 1812. As commander of
Virginia's militia forces, Barbour planned, organized, and directed the defense of Virginia
from January until December 1814. Known
for his oratorical skills and organizing talents,
he inspired his fellow Virginians to defend the
Commonwealth from relentless British incursions
in Hampton Roads and the Northern Neck
On a few occasions, he took command of the militia
while in the field. He later served U.S.
as Senator from Virginia and U.S. Secretary of War.
