Home to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the New World, Virginia is in many ways the birthplace of America and the home of U.S. history. It is also literally the birthplace of eight presidents and numerous Revolutionary and Civil War heroes. Virginia was among the wealthiest southern states in the antebellum period, resulting in a long tradition of stately homes on luxuriant plantations. In addition to their elegant architecture and classic southern styling, these homes feature some of the most extravagant and noteworthy gardens on the eastern seaboard. From the James River Plantations to the Shenandoah foothills, Virginia's Historic Homes and Gardens celebrates the legendary houses and landscapes of Old Dominion. Virginia natives, the authors travel throughout the state to highlight the best of the famous and lesser-known homes. Including such national landmarks as George Washington's Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the book brilliantly illustrates the homes exteriors and interiors as well as their gardens and landscaping. Historical details accompany the exquisite color photographs, along with useful information on each site's location.

Fredericksburg, one of America's most historic cities, sits midpoint between the nation's capital and Richmond. Many visitors come to this city to walk in the footsteps of illustrious Americans, admire their homes, view the battlefields nearby, and enjoy true Southern hospitality. Following a broadcasting career in California and New York, author Tony Kent retired to Fredericksburg where he and 12 others founded the Central Rappahannock Heritage Center, a regional archive for the grass roots history of the city and its four neighboring counties. Many never-before-published images in this volume are from the center's collection.
