== Points of interest == Louisa is home to the [[North Anna Nuclear Generating Station]] which produces electricity and offers jobs for the county's inhabitants. The warm water produced from the power plant and discharged into the water of Lake Anna creates what some call Central Virginia's best fishing. Louisa is also home to the [[Twin Oaks Community]], an [[intentional community]] of 100 people living on {{convert|465|acre|km2}}. The community has been in Louisa since 1967. The [[2011 Virginia earthquake]] had its epicenter just 7 miles (11 kilometers) south-southeast of Louisa.<ref>[http://lakeannarentals.org/magnitude-5-8-earthquake-hits-central-virginia/ Magnitude 5.8 - VIRGINIA] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006154048/http://lakeannarentals.org/magnitude-5-8-earthquake-hits-central-virginia/ |date=October 6, 2014 }}</ref> This quake registered 5.8 magnitude and caused the evacuations of buildings on [[Capitol Hill]] in Washington, D.C., as well as New York City and was felt as far north as Canada. <gallery widths="200px" heights="135px"> Image:BB7 Louisa WJGrimes.JPG|A local train of the [[Buckingham Branch]] railroad passes the [[Chesapeake and Ohio Railway|C&O]] Depot and water tower in Louisa.
