Dr. Henry M. Styker served on the Williamsburg City Council from 1933 to 1948 and as Mayor from 1948-1968. Under his guidance, the purchase of the Waller Mill Reservoir by the city became a reality in 1944. Under his tenure as mayor, Stryker committed to the continual upgrade and expansion of the treatment plant, pumps, mains, storage tanks, and watershed property purchases. The reservoir provides the city, College of William & Mary, and tourist industry with affordable, reliable drinking water. As a significant side benefit, 2,400 acres of watershed property are preserved from development and Waller Mill Park serves as a recreational treasure.
The Waller Mill Park Bike Trail is a two mile multiuse asphalt path connecting Rochambeau Drive and Mooretown Road. Parking/entrance fee is $2.00. Additional park information is available in the "Related Web Page" link. A big thank you to the City of Williamsburg for allowing us to geocache along this wonderfully maintained trail.
