Beach Station a national historic district located near Chesterfield, in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The district includes six contributing buildings and one contributing site in the Village of Beach. They were all constructed about 1890 and are two single-family dwellings, a post office, a railway depot, an outbuilding, two railroad shanties, and the ruins of the former general store. Beach Station was accessible from the Farmville and Powhatan Railroad. Leasing arrangements had been made with the Brighthope Railway company which was sold to become the Farmville and Powhatan.[3] The district represents an unusual collection of late-nineteenth-century buildings in their historic surroundings.[4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
