Hanover County's Antique
Village recognizes the county's best known historical figure, Patrick
Henry,
with a permanent exhibit.
Above: 2006 Patrick Henry
Display at the Village
Patrick Henry was born May
29, 1736 just a few miles from Antique Village in Studley. He spent his
youth in rural Hanover, bartended at Hanover Tavern, married the tavern
owner's daughter Sarah Shelton, and became a lawyer, practicing at Hanover
Courthouse (built 1735) across the road from the tavern. With his defense
of the people in the "Parsons' Cause" Case in 1763, at Hanover Courthouse,
he became known beyond the boundaries of Hanover County as a great orator
and one who was willing to challenge the King of England. By the time of
his "Give me Liberty or Death" speech in Richmond (1775), he was on the
verge of being recognized as "The Orator of the Revolution."
