I'm familiar with The Plains. That was my fault, 'The Plains, VA' was originally known (for the first 100 or so years of the town) as 'White Plains, VA'. It was named that after the morning mist or low-lying fog which make the fields in the area look white. I guess they renamed it back in the 50s; my family always called it 'White Plains', and sometimes that's what I'll refer to it as. Same place, though, and I agree that it's still NOVA. Neat area out that way, with a ton of history. I've heard great things about the slavery museum that's out there, but I've never been. I've looked around their website, though, here's the link:
