"Looking at the Past"

Tucked away in Gloucester is a mansion built in 1725 on the banks of the York River.  This 3 sotry all brick home is just a shell today and their is still excavation going on.  Take a tour around the home and learn the history of the family who built it.  The amazing thing is years of civil war and natural weather, such as hurricanes have not destroyed this home.  The craftmanship is amazing.  This site also operates on donation only I believe.
