85. Experience a re-awakening at the Rev. John Jasper historical marker.

John Jasper, one of Fluvanna's most famous African American residents, was born into slavery in 1812 and spent his childhood in the county. After spending time in Louisiana and Richmond, VA, he had a religious awakening in 1839 whilst in the Virginian capital. Self-taught, he became a prominent Baptist minister and travelled the entire state preaching while still enslaved. Freed at the end of the Civil War, he founded the Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Richmond, which quickly became one of the largest black congregations in the city. He died in Richmond in 1901.
