Description

Home to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the New World, Virginia is in many ways the birthplace of The usa and the home of U.S. history.  It is usually literally the birthplace of eight presidents and a lot of Revolutionary and Civil War heroes. Virginia was some of the wealthiest southern states in the antebellum period, resulting in a long tradition of stately homes on luxuriant plantations. Along with their elegant architecture and classic southern styling, these homes feature one of the crucial most extravagant and noteworthy gardens on the eastern seaboard.

From the James River Plantations to the Shenandoah foothills, Virginia’s Historic Homes and Gardens celebrates the legendary houses and landscapes of Old Dominion. Virginia natives, the authors trip all over the state to highlight the best of the famous and lesser-known homes. Including such national landmarks as George Washington’s Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the book brilliantly illustrates the homes’ exteriors and interiors in addition to their gardens and landscaping. Historical details accompany the exquisite color photographs, together with useful information on each site’s location.
