Henrico County officials have announced plans to acquire the 1,184-acre Wilton Farm property on the James River in Varina for a variety of potential uses, including a park with 2.8 miles of river frontage, economic development, schools and a history museum. Board of Supervisors Chairman and Varina District representative Tyrone E. Nelson and County Manager John A. Vithoulkas announced the purchase Sept. 19 in a news conference at the eastern Henrico farm. The county plans to work with the community to develop a master plan to guide future decisions about the property, which is off Osborne Turnpike and bisected by the Pocahontas Parkway (state Route 895).
