About Fort Mattapony

Historic, Archaeology, Interesting Places, Other Archaeological Sites

Fort Mattapony is a historic archaeological site located near Walkerton, King and Queen County, Virginia. It sits on the second rise over-looking both Walkerton and Locust Grove. This fortification was built about 1653 and was to house 40 well equipped soldiers and horses. A 10-square-foot building was also constructed to house their ammunition. It was laid out by Edward Digges and was commanded by Major Thomas Walker, who patented Locust Grove. The fort was built for the protection of the Mattaponi against hostile tribes from the north. It stood until it was decommissioned in 1682 or it may have been torn down in 1677 and relocated.
