Side trip to Barboursville Va. to see the ruins and vineyards. Beautiful pastoral views. Designed by Thomas Jefferson for his friend James Barbour. Governor of Va.. Built 1814 to 1822. Burned Christmas day 1884. Orange county Va.
Octagonal rooms and those columns are so much Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson provided workmen from his Monticello home to build this mansion.
Impressive boxwood gardens with a few benches for sitting a spell to ponder as I did.
A short video clip
Not sure how to make the video frame pause long enough to read descriptions. Hit pause to read.
