Additional Description: Reads: "This park is provided by the citizens of White Post and the Boy Scouts of Troop 11. It is through their hard work and financial support that everyone can enjoy our park. About 300 yards south of here is the White Post. The post was originally placed there by George Washington under direction of Lord Fairfax. It was erected in 1750 as a guidepost to direct strangers and travelers, on the Old Dutch Wagon Road, to Greenway Court, home of Lord Fairfax. It was also used by George Washington as a surveying marker. Around this post grew a village of 200 people. White Post is the only Historic District on the National Registry within Clarke County. Welcome to our Village."
