ldquoBy far our clubrsquos favorite day-trip destination from WilliamsburgrdquoRick Morgan President Colonial Model A Ford Club

The ferry crossing which connects James-town to Scotland Wharf in Surry County takes about 15 minutes The ferry ride is a great introduction to our area When you stand at the bow itrsquos easy to imagine the excitement felt by our early colonists as they sailed the James River

After departing the ferry continue to the

first traffic light take Route 10 east from Surry to Smithfield for about 18 miles then turn left on Main Street in Smithfield
