Approved February 27, 1946

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia :

1. That chapter twenty-one of the Acts of Assembly of nineteen
hundred twenty-eight, approved February eighteen, nineteen hundred
twenty-eight, be amended and re-enacted, as follows:
That part of the State Highway System of the State of Virginia,
leading from the intersection of State Highway Fifty-one and secondary
highway number six hundred eighty-five at Fork Church, along such
latter highway by “Scotch Town” to “Negro Foot’, the intersection of
secondary highway number six hundred eighty-five and State Highway
Fifty-four, thence along such latter highway through the town of Ash-
land to Hanover Courthouse and Hanover Tavern, thence in a southerly
direction along State Highway Two to its intersection with secondary
highway number six hundred six and along such latter highway by Rural
Plains and Studley to its intersection with United States Highway
Three Hundred Sixty; thence along such latter highway by way of
Mechanicsville to Richmond, and from Richmond, passing through
Amelia, Burkeville, Keysville, Charlotte Courthouse, Phenix and Brook-
neal, be, hereafter, called and known as the “Patrick Henry Highway” ;
and, that such highway pass, in the City of Richmond, by Old Saint
John’s Church, where the great patriot and orator in the convention of
March twenty-third, seventeen hundred seventy-five, in his great speech,
made in advocacy of freedom, uttered the immortal sentence, “Give me
liberty or give me death.”.

The route herein named will pass near ‘‘Red Hill”, in Charlotte
county, where the great statesman and soldier spent the last years of his
wonderful life, and where his mortal remains are buried.

The other terminus of the highway shall be at such point beyond
Brookneal as may, in the future, be determined.
