Residents mourn the loss of the Rapidan Dam Store

Eric Henderson consoles his wife Louise Henderson after she looked at the site where the Dam Store and a family friend's house used to be near Rapidan Dam on Saturday. "I watched one of my best friends lose everything," said Louise. Louise's great-grandfather Jorgen Nelson started the Dam Store in 1910 by selling sandwiches to the workers building the dam.
