Ninety-eight of the oldest and most beautiful of the many historic estates of Virginia are to be opened for public touring and inspecting the week of April 25-30 for the benefit of the fund being raised in the Old Dominion for the restoration of Stratford Hall, an- cestral home of the Lee family, birth- place of two signers of the Declaration of Independence, Francis Rightfoot Lee and Gen. Lighthorse Harry Lee, and also of Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander in chief of the Confederate armies. It will be “Garden week” in the old land of romantic charm, cordial hospitality and historic associations identified with every war in which the United States has had a part, and it is being sponsored by the Garden Club of Virginia, with Mrs. Thomas W. Wheelwright as chairman of the com- mittee in charge of arrangements. By that time the well kept grounds and gardens of these lovely old estates will be in the pink of condition. They are for the most part owned by people of wealth and social prominence, who have taken a patriotic pride in restoring many homes that had been neglected. They are, as a rule, easily accessible over modern paved roads which now traverse the State. Only recently the Garden Club of Virginia, presented to the Kenmore Association the beautifully | restored grounds and garden of the home of Washington’s only sister, Betty Lewis, at Predericksburg, on which they spent over $20,000 in improvements. Now the same organization has un- dertaken the restoration of the Lee home with equal interest. Still others are in prospect Many of the historic old places to be opened can be seen by the public only during this period. They contain a wealth of rare antiques. Included are some along the James River, others overlooking the Rappahannock, still oth- ers further inland, »nd a number in | that section of *.c snenandoah Valley | around Winchester, where the Shenan- | doah Apple Blossom Festival is held annually around the last of April or first of May. Some of the most noted of these famous estates are the one-time homes of five of the eight Virginia-born Presi. dents of the United States—Thomas | Jefferson, James Monroe, James Mad- | Store Hours: 7 A.M. to 5 P.M.—Saturdays, 1 P.M.
