Ingles Ferry


Ingles Ferry is a historic tavern near the city of Radford in Pulaski County, Virginia, Virginia, United States.
William and Mary Ingles began developing a farm on the eastern side of the New River a few years after Mary's capture by Shawnee Indians and subsequent escape in 1755. Around 1762, William obtained a license to operate a ferry at the site of the current tavern.
There were a number of instances when Indians attacked the farm and ferry.
Thomas Ingles, grandson of William and Mary Draper Ingles, built a bridge across the New River at Ingles Ferry in 1840. Although the first bridge across the river, it was destroyed during the Civil War.
The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.
