Posting: Did not see any kind of markings on VA 36 in October 2001; I visited the campus in April 2007 -- I did not see any 327 postings anywhere. Comment: VA 327 does not appear on any official maps. VA 327 has 3 main endpoints - VA 36, SR 1102 and SR 1107. Ettrick is right across the river from Downtown Petersburg | ||||||

VA 327 #1: Created in January 1925, in two pieces: 1. VA 32 (curr US 15-29) Opal southeast for 3 miles. 2. VA 31 (curr SR 607) Falmouth northwest for 4 miles over CR 6.
In May 1926, VA 327 was extended 8.4 miles towards Bealton and 5 miles towards Falmouth. In October 1926 VDOT Route Log shows 327 becoming VA 314 then both sections became part of the original VA 38. Today it is part of the US 17 corridor. Stafford and Fauquier County have a bunch of SR loops that constitute much of what original VA 327 followed.
VA 327 #2: Created in June 1932 (CTB Minutes) as an unidentified new primary route. The 1932 VDOT County Atlas shows VA 327 running as a tiny route on Church St from VA 309 (current VA 131) to US 60/VA 10 (current US 460 Business) within Appomattox. In July 1933 this became part of VA 26. Today it is SR 727. VA 327 was the highest 3xx route in the 1928-33 system.
