LEWIS OPEN TO PUBLIC THIS WEEK Direct De;ce;ldafits‘df Betty W;shington to Receive -at Marmion Proceeds From Admissions to Aid Funds for Buying Kenmore. BY W. H. CLAGETT. Beginning tomorrow and continu- ing for the remafnder of the week, Marmion, the historic home of the Lewls family of Virginia and one of the most interesting places In the whole of the Old Dominion, will be thrown open to the public from o'clock in the morning until gu have departed at night. Am admis- slon fee of 50 cents will be charged, the proceeds to be turned over to the enmore Assoclation of Fredericks- | burg for the purchase of Kenmore, the.colonial ‘home of Col. Fielding Lew!s and his wite, Betty Washing- ton Lewis, the only sister of the first ®resident.. Elaborate preparations have been made. for the event, which marks the first time in the 142 years Marmion has been in possession of the Lewis family that a charge has been col- lected for the admission of visitors. thuslastic, however, over the sucaess of a llke undertaking con- ducted by the D'aughters of the Amer- ican Revolution, when that organi- zation, in taking over Westover, on the James river, opened the house 9 and grounds to the public for an ad- mission, the proceeds going to the state pageant at Richmond, Miss Lucy Lowis, the present owner of Marmion and a direct descendant of the noted patriot, decided that no better means could be devised for the ralsing of funds to help preserve for all time the home of her illustrious forbears than opening wide the portals of her owt beautiful estate. Many Visitors Expected. Therefore, after consulting with Mrs. V. M." Fleming, president, and other members of the Kenmore As- sociation, this Virginia lady, who represents the fourth generation of her people to occupy the old home, put her whole heart into the project, With the result that an entire “Mar- mion week” was arranged, when it is expected that hundreds of Virgin- fans and others in adjacent states will avail themselves of the opportunity of Visiting one of the famous shrines | e of American liberty. Throughout the entire week the ved by Miss Lew . William O, Dicki gar V. Lewis, Mrs. John n, and a special committee 1 of the Kenmore Association. Each day a program of entertain- ment will be presented when notable speakers will addre. the gatherings, and at night a cafeteria supper will be served on the grounds, after which there will be dancing on the beauti- ful lawn. On_Thursday, which, according to | the program commjttee, will be the banner day of the weck. Gen. Smed- ley D. Butler, U. S. M.

Fresh from staging “Pickett’s Charge” at Gettysburg maneuvers, an ardent enthuslast being done by the Kenmore Asso- ciation, will not only act a= master.| of ceremonies during the day, but will deiiver the principal address at night. Escaped Indian's Torch. Strange as It may seem, little ha been written about Marmion in the many volumes relating to the his- toric homes of Virginia, yet none, by reason of its share in the traditions of the famous Fitzhugh and Lewis families, as well as its own unique| and distinctive interest, merits more particular attention. It is perhaps equally remarkable that Marmion should have escaped the wanton fire- brand of the Indian, for at the time; it was built, says F. C. Baldwin, an authority on colonial estates, it was at the outskirts of the civilization of the colonies and its situation was in| | the very heart of the region of the . Indian depredations and massacres, i rsister: . Mrs. the famous the recent Gen. Butler, of the work which were partly the cause of Bacon's rebellion. o Tradition and the surrounding eir- cumstances would indicate that Mar- mion was built in 1674 by Willlam Fitzhugh, whose will was probated in Stafford county, Va., in 1701, and who devised the estate to his son Thomas. From the latter it passed to one Hall, and from him was pur- ~hased by George Lewis in 1780, the ‘irst of the Lewis family to take nossession. and it has remained con- tnuously in the same family since. George Lewis, son of Col. Fielding Lewis and Betty Washington Lewis. was a captain in Baylor's regiment and. commanded his uncle's, Gen. Washington's, lifeguards. It was in his arms that Gen. Hugh Mercer ex- pired_on the battlefield of Princeton. Gen. Lewis retired to Marmion a few years after the revolution and dled there in 1821. His younger brother, Robert, was private secretary to Washington during part of his presi- dential term. The Lewis family is one of those which largely created historic Vir- ginia, and the present owners of Marmion are the direct descendants of the “Immigrant” Gen. Robert Lewls. who in 1660 received a grant of 33,333 acres, and who built the original family seat, Warner Hall, which destroyed by fire fn 1849, He Byrd Lewls, the present owner of Cleve Manor, was born at Marmion. Marmion's existen is apparently not well known today, except to Vir- gintans, for though but elghteen miles from Fredericksburg, it s hid- den away in remote and secluded dig- nity, amidst its surrounding forest, in "a sparsely populated section of King George county, and unless one knew of the treasures it contains one would he tempted to pass it by with slight consideration. Architecture In Simple. The bullding is a frame structure, and its exterfor shows something of its battles with the elements through almost two and a half centuries. The original beaded white pine weather- boarding, which was one-inch thick, has been replaced in some places by more modern clapboards. The build- ing 1s simple In design, and the ex- terior has no distinctive architectural character, other than the svmmetry that v usual in the hous period, but the construction stantial and good.

The plan is the typical one of most southern houses, having a hall from front to rear and opening from it on either side. If the visitor to. Marmion has gained from its exterfor the impres- slon that it possesses no particular festures of architectural fnterest h recelves a thrill of surprise and ple: ure immediately upon crossing the threshold. The ample proportions of the hall speak a hospitable welcome and the architectural detail of train- ing and refinement. The beautifully turned newel posts and balusters, the gracefully sweeping ramps and the easy rise of the treads give evidence| of thoughtful designing.
