The ‘’‘Snickersville Turnpike’’’ (formerly known as the ‘’‘Snicker’s Gap Turnpike’’’) is a historic road in the northern part of the U.S. state of Virginia. While part of the original route is now maintained as State Route 7, a primary state highway, the section between Aldie and Bluemont (formerly Snickerville) in Loudoun County, via Mountville, Philomont, and Airmont, remains a rural Virginia Byway designated as ‘’‘State Route 734’’’. This stretch includes the approximately 180-year-old ‘’‘Hibbs Bridge’’’ over Beaverdam Creek (a tributary of Goose Creek). The turnpike is notable for having replaced, in part, the first toll road in the United States, which originally consisted of two roads from Alexandria northwest into the Shenandoah Valley.
