Travel back in time.....

Sit back in your favorite chair, get a nice glass of ice tea or a cup of coffee, maybe a litle snack, snuggle under a nice quilt and enjoy the tour of these grand old homes. This book is filled with great pictures, both inside and out, plus tons of information on the history of each plantation home. After looking at it, you'll feel like you were just there in person, and be a lot more knowledgeable about each plantation. I love going to historical locations, and even live in Virginia and have seen some of these homes in person, but it's always fun to pull out a great book and "tour" places again. This book is super - you won't be disappointed.
