The Jordan's Point Historic District is located in Jordan's Point Park in Lexington, Virginia. Developed around 1800 by John Jordan and John Moorhead, the site originally housed a sawmill. In 1806, they dammed the Maury River and constructed a cotton mill in 1808. Although only foundations and the millrace remain from these early industrial activities, notable surviving structures include the miller's house, built around 1815, which is now a local museum, and a chapel built in 1874. The district's historical significance was recognized in 2016 when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

This overlook at Milepost 53.6 on the Blue Ridge Parkway offers a great view of Rice Mountain and some of the valley floor below. This is a pretty spacious pull-off and a great spot for a break as much as it is a great place to take in a view.
