There's an interesting bit of history along this unassuming road, dating back to the American Revolution. The inscription on the plaque reads "This antebellum Greek Revival Home was part of Bowman estate. Col. Abraham Bowman commanded 8th Va. Regt. in Revolution. Behind house was Todd's Station, built 1779 by Levi Todd, grandfather of Mary Todd Lincoln and Emilie Todd Helm. Mrs. Helm, wife of CSA Gen. Ben H. Helm, bought house in 1912. Later owned by Wm. H. Townsend, Lincoln authority. Listed on National Register, 1978"
