Baskerville, Virginia

There isn't a whole lot left at Baskerville these days. Just a smattering of lived-in houses with nicely tended yards and a relatively new post office telling you where you are. There are some vestiges of the past, however. Baskerville today is on the road to nowhere. Oh, you can get lots of places once you're there, but it's on no major thoroughfare. Just take Hwy. 4 North from US 58 and take a right when you come to the first stop sign.

The aforementioned nearly-new post office. All the tiny towns in Virginia got new ones within the past 15 years.

 

 

Remnants of the town train station. The line is now abandoned.

 

Go straight down this road, and it curves around to a huge farm house, so that small red-roofed building is probably the farm's old office. The other building has to be what is left of only two stores.

 

This would be the other store that used to be in Baskerville. Not in use, but it appeared to be full of junk.

 

This is Aspen Lawn, a farmhouse outside Baskerville.
