“The Brughs of Early Botetourt” was written by the Honorable George E. Honts, III (1940-2004). It was copyrighted in 2000 and dedicated “to Maude and all the Brughs who have gone before us.” The softbound book was produced by Crofton’s Duplicating Services, Forest, for Explore Park and the “A Touch of History Series” at the Botetourt County Historical Society, Inc. The book is for sale in the Museum Bookstore and tells the history of the Brugh family who settled in Botetourt about 1790.

They built and operated Brugh’s Tavern, which fell into disrepair as shown on the cover. Explore Park disassembled the building and reconstructed it on their property where it is used as a restaurant today.

Judge Honts practiced law from 1968 to 1983 and served as Judge, 25th Judicial Circuit of Virginia, from 1983 to 2004 before his death. He authored and co-authored several historical and genealogical publications.
This book gives a valuable description of how rural farm life was along the Great Valley Road during the early 1800s in Botetourt County.
