THE BUILDINGS IN VIRGINIA HERE ARE REPLICAS OF THE 1730 KITCHEN AND HOUSE AND PLANTATION. THEY HAVE COLONIAL FURNISHINGS. IT HAS A FARM WITH ANIMALS AND A BLACKSMITH SHOP. IT WAS THE SECOND FARM OF HIS GREAT GRANDFATHER JOHN WASHINGTON WHO EMIGRATED HERE IN 1656. IT OVERLOOKS THE POTOMAC RIVER. THE VIEWS ARE FANTASTIC HERE AND THE RIVER IS QUITE WIDE.
WE VISITED THIS PLANTATION AS WE EXCAVATED SOME HISTORIC SITES IN 1975. I KNOWN THEY HAVE EXCAVATED SOME OF THIS SITE FOR TESTING BEFORE THEY REBUILT IT. AND THEIR ARE SOME OF THE CERAMICS AND ARTIFACTS IN THE ROOMS.
