RICHMOND, Va., February 1.—More | than 100 historic homes and gardens of | Virginia will be thrown open to the | public, many of them for the first time, during the week of April 28-May 3, and will welcome visitors, as a result of the work of the Garden Club of Virginia, Which has obtained the permission of the owners to open them to the public | for this one short period during the | year. Names both famous in history and | names which have faded from the gen- | eral memory of man, were born in these | homes, which dot the oldest part of | Colonial Virginia. Among them are in- | cluded Gunston Hall, where George | Mason wrote the bill of rights, and | where he is said to have had the finest | Chippendale room in America. peller, where James and Dolly Madison i ed for many years, 1s another show place which the public will see for an abbreviated period. _Her wonderful gardens, laid out by French engineers, Temain the wonder of Virginia, although the box cannot compare with that of Custle Hill, not far away, where for more than two centuries it has grown in wonderful profusion, until its walks and drives are veritable tunnels through lanes of close, green loveliness. British Held at Castle Hill. It was at Castle Hill that Gen Tarle- ton and British raiders were de- Jayed while Jack Jouett, Virginia's Paul Revere, rode and warned the Virginia General Assembly of its danger and saved Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and 50 other patriots from capture. Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, at Charlottesville, is also in- cluded in the trip, as is famous old ‘Westover, home of the founder of the city of Richmond. This famous old gentleman reposes peacefully in the midst of the Westover gardens under an imposing tombstone which will be seen by those who pass through the wisteria arbors which Iead to it during garden week. Among the 00 homes to be visited there are so many that are famous that all cannot be mentioned. There is York Hall, more commonly known ®s the Mason House, at Yorktown, where « Cornwallis surrendered. This house bears in its walls the cannon balls of the Revolutionary gunners. Its secluded gardens behind high brick walls, have been maintained for hun- dreds of years as perfect today as when they were laid out when Virginia was @ loyal colony and its owner was its secretary. Other Historic Homes. Woodlawn, the home built by Wash- ngton for Nellie Custis; Stratford, the irthplace of two signers of the Declara- tion of Independence, and of Robert E. Lee, the South's greatest soldier; Wake- field, the birthplace of George Wash- ington, and the Mary Washington use, the home of Washington's mother, and Kenmore, his sister’s home, are all to be open to the public. . _Along the banks of the historic James River there is ancient Tuckahoe, where ‘Thomas Jefferson went to school when & child; Brandon, the seat of the Har- rison family, and Claremont Manor, with its dungeons and its romantic his- tory; Appomattox Manor and Carter Grove, with its deep-cut scars of Union Cavalry sabers, still visible on the stairs; Bacon's Castle, where centered Mont- | Bravery Rewarded LOWELL BRADFORD.

CHARLESTON PASTORS DENY DRY RESOLUTION the first revolt in America against Eng- lish rule, in 1676; famous Shoals Bay, seat of the annual crape myrtle festi- val; Shirley and Upper Brandon. Olda century before Columbus _discovered America, were Agecroft Hall and the Vi ia House, ancestral homes, moved to Virginia from England a few years ago, and which will be among the houses open to the public. OM in History. antiquity of some of the places open is stressed by their history. 'There is the Carlisle House, headquar- ters of Gen. Braddock when England prepared for her disastrous campaign mgainst the Prench, when Washington was yet a stripling. Then there is Prestwould, which William Byrd is said to have lost at a game of cards before the City of Richmond was thought of. There is the home of Daniel Morgan, built by Hessian prisoners, and Carter Hall, constructed by a son of the “King” Carter, whose pleasure seemed to be in building his children marvelous homes. Mirador, the American home of Lady Nancy Astor, is included in the list. Three Hills, the home of Mary John- ston; the Long Bridge Ordinary, Violet Bank, headquarters of Lee during the battle of Petersburg, and Red Hill, the resting place of Patrick Henry, are only # few of the many homes to be seen. Open for Second Time. This is the second time in the history bf Virginia that the people who own bistoric places throughout the State ve to open them for the ctonvenience of the public. Last year, at the first attempt, many were opened and visitors came from every State in the Union to see the historic gardens And estates around which so much his- has been written. Great fear was felt that the owners would never allow & similar week to be held under Garden Club auspices, for it was felt that so many visitors might cause the gardens be damaged. However, most of the old gardens of Virginia have success- fully withstood the depredations of sol- diiers of two wars. Once an entire di- Vvision camped around Westover, and the old home came very near to being : ruin after the fences had been fed to the flames of campfires and the chairs #nd tables and floors had been scarred by Cavalry boots and the spurs of hard- tiding raiders. Some of the estates saw their gardens selected for camp sites or plowed up by cannon balls, and both wars took their toll of the historic old homes of Virginia. Happily, however, plans of most of these old homes, and of many of the rnrdem. were retained by relatives or riends of the occupants, and a veritable riod of reconstruction has set in. any old foundations throughout the Btate have been unearthed and historic bomes are rising on them again. Proceeds of the historic garden tour Jre to be used by the Garden Club of irginia for the restoration of the gar- flen at Stratford, which was almost en- firely destroyed in reconstruction days.
