The Pamplin Pipe Factory site in Appomattox County Virginia contains the archaeological remains of several consecutive periods of [[clay pipe]] manufacture. | |||
Tradition holds that pipemaking there began as early as the 1740s when the first European settlers arrived in the area. As a home based industry, pipe production continued through the years, with pipemakers using local clays to make pipes of various styles. | Tradition holds that pipemaking there began as early as the 1740s when the first European settlers arrived in the area.
