Leesburg Virginia

[Miss Marty]

Morven Park Mansion is on the National Register of
Historic Places and is a Virginia Historic Landmark

The Estate, 1,000 acres just west of Leesburg, Virginia
off Rt. 7 on Old Waterford Rd, was home to two governors:
Thomas Swann, a governor of Maryland in the 19th century,
and Virginia's reform Governor Westmoreland Davis.

Virginia Civil War Trails Markers at Morven Park

The marker, one in a series of three, commemorates
the role of the plantation in the early months of the war,
when it was home to Confederate troops of the
17th Mississippi Regiment in the winter of 1861/62.

Morven Park Mansion and Winmill Carriage Collection


On Monday, Nov 22, 2010 - We visited & toured
Morven Park Mansion - Grounds - Carriage Collection

We had a very private Mansion tour (four people)
and an extra special Carriage Collection Tour for two.

The lady who gave the Carriage Collection Tour owned
her own carriage and pony and was very knowledgeable.

You can go online and tour the rooms and properties
but do plan a visit. You will enjoy it..
