Fairy Stone State Park, built by Civilian Conservation Corps workers in the 1930s, was listed as a historic district on April 10, 2007.
About 600 Civilian Conservation Corps workers developed the 4,750-acre park between 1933 and 1940, and most of it lies in Patrick County. The park is named for the cross-shaped staurolite crystals found there, which local legend holds bring good luck. Virginia listed the historic district on June 8, 2006, and the National Register of Historic Places listing came on April 10, 2007.
