This travel program extends our work at the Webb Deane Stevens Museum beyond Connecticut, connecting preserved sites, primary stories, and daily life in the 18th century. We begin at Fredericksburg, on the stretch of river where Washington grew up, and follow the Rappahannock down to Westmoreland County, where he was born. Seven houses along the way, four of them private and opened for us by arrangement, welcome us in to linger among the details of fine objects and architecture. Mornings under extraordinary plaster ceilings, lunch in river towns, a night at Stratford Hall, and a closing roundtable on the families who built these houses and then came apart over independence.&nbsp; Our group, kept intimate by design, is led throughout by TR Revella-Hamilton, our Director of Preservation &amp; Collections, and Brenton Grom, Executive Director. Truncated itinerary*Thursday, November 5&mdash;Arrival and check-in in downtown Fredericksburg. Evening open.Friday, November 6&mdash;A private insiders tour of the Mary Ball Washington House. &nbsp;Kenmore, for the finest eighteenth-century plasterwork in the country. Lunch downtown. Belmont, the Gari Melchers home and studio. Dinner together in Fredericksburg.Saturday, November 7&mdash;Three private houses down the river, among them the first neo-Palladian villa built by the Carter family. Lunch in Tappahannock. Night at Stratford Hall.Sunday, November 8&mdash;Menokin, the 1769 house of Declaration signer Francis Lightfoot Lee, being rebuilt in structural glass. Lunch and tour at Stratford Hall. Feuding Founders roundtable. Ends 4:00 PM. Daytrips | Daytrip rates are available for those who wish to join us from the area.
