Description

Southern plantations are an endless source of fascination.

That's no surprise since these palatial homes are rich in history, representing a pivotal time in U.S. history that truly is "gone with the wind." With the Civil War literally exploding all around, many of these homes were occupied either by Confederate or Union troops.

Nowhere else in the south were plantations so affected by the nation's bloodiest war than in Virginia.

At times, families fled, leaving behind slaves to manage the property.

There are still more than 60 plantations in Virginia today, most of them open to the public.

Some have been restored, others undergoing that process.

If only the walls could talk, the stories we might hear!

That's what we hope to bring into this book on The Plantations of Virginia.

We'll take the tours and talk to the guides and dig even further if there is more to discover.

We hope that travelers will be enlightened before they travel to Virginia, their visits will thus be enriched, and that residents will equally love exploring this deep history of Virginia.

Accompanying the text will be photographs, taken by one of the authors, showing, in all their splendor, the exteriors of these plantations, as well as areas of interest inside the buildings.
