Boyd's Ferry was one of the earliest Dan river crossings established in Halifax County. The ferry
crossed about where the Norfolk-Southern Railway bridge crosses the river today. The ferry's importance
lay in part in the fact that over it passed the road from the south to Charlotte and Prince Edward
Counties, Petersburg and Richmond.
