Meadow farm

A living history 1860 farm site and museum in Henrico County, Virginia
The cultural history of the Rural South is presented here by it's programs and exhibits.
Dr. Mosby Sheppard was the owner of Meadow farm and lived here with his family.  Seasonal activities are enjoyed here on certain weekends of the year. 
 
 
Wings were added I understand as the family grew larger

I Love this SOOO much! That doctors office is SO cool! People must have been much smaller back then. That is a tiny cute building!

Hi Betsy,
Pretty property. That house reminds me of Laura Ingalls Wilder's home in Mansfield, Missouri. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful old farm. Reminds me of some photos I took of my kids at a similar farm where we used to live. I've got to look for them.

That is a beautiful home. It always amazes me how small and simple the old doctors offices are.
