Quoits is a game similar to horseshoes that is played in various formats including lawn, indoors, and tabletop. It typically uses a ring of metal or rope rather than a horseshoe and tossed at a stake.
Buried in Shockoe Hill Cemetery are some well known members of the Buchanan Spring Quoit Club who would gather for games, food and drink. They include Chief Justice John Marshall, U.S. Senator Benjamin Watkins Leigh, Attorney John Wickham, and Reverend John D. Blair.
