1. Goose Creek Friends Meeting and Oakdale Schoolhouse

The Village of Lincoln was a central location of Goose Creek. The village was established in the early 1730s by Quakers moving South from Pennsylvania. It was made up of small family farms, and Lincoln was a busy community made up of businesses and organizations that supported the surrounding homesteads and farms. A very influential organization that is still around today is the Goose Creek Friends Meeting.

2. Snickersville Turnpike and Edward Snickers

Snickersville Turnpike was the first operating turnpike in America by 1786. Originally an Iroquois hunting trail, the Turnpike was named after Edward Snickers, who owned and operated an Inn and Ferry on the Shenandoah River. George Washington often used the turnpike and stayed in Edward Snicker’s Inn, as he was a land surveyor for property in Goose Creek.
