WOW, this is wonderful!
By ,
I toured three historical homes and this one is by far my favorite. However I was disappointed that so much of the original home was unavailable to us because of renovations done by previous owners. The period tour guide was very knowledgable. She described, in detail, the life of the Land families, how they lived, struggled, worked, and played. When she was describing the dances they might have had, you could "feel and hear the music", you "felt" the times. The minimal cost to tour the house and property is well worth it. I would love to go back, spend more time, and will do more research on line on that period in VA and then have more questions for them.

A Federal jewel in a modern city
By ,
Touring this home, and land gave us a view into life of early 1800's. We learned about America after the revolution. So many historic sights in this area are pre-revolutionary, that this is one of the very few that allowed us to experience the Federal period. It was not crowded, so we could have a personal tour without being rushed.
