Rural Thursday Blog Hop # 25




On the 4th of July we drove over to Lynchburg and toured Point of Honor . Dr. George Cabell started construction in 1806 and finished in 1815. Dr. Cabell was the physician of Patrick Henry and neighbor/friend to Thomas Jefferson. I'm always amazed at how many important Amercians lived in this area and were so intertwined!

Hookin' up with Rural Thursday :)

    I find it interesting that it took 10 years to complete this beautiful home. Another thing we take for granted, I guess.

    Thank you for sharing at Rural Thursdays, Tanya. ox

    Gorgeous place and some wonderful history! People would be amazed at some of the historical significance found in their own towns with just a little research.

    Hmm. Might this be the same Cabell of Cabell Hall at UVA?

    How I miss Virginia! The architecture, the history, the scenic roads. . .Your blog makes me "homesick", even though I wasn't raised there!

    That is one stunning building there. I really like the brickwork, not as good as the history that goes with the property though
