The COVID-19 pandemic has turned many of us into master gardeners of change, patience and innovation. The members of 48 garden clubs that comprise the Garden Club of Virginia didn’t miss a beat. Over the summer they began the planning to offer safe and enjoyable tours while complying with current health mandates. We are excited to open 102 private gardens and dozens of historic properties as part of “America’s Largest Open House” this April 17 – 24. Historic Garden Week includes eight days of tours in 25 different communities. For garden lovers, this event has few peers. Ballantrae To comply with COVID-19 mandates, this year we reduced the number of tour tickets available for sale, decreased ticket prices and implemented a timed-entry format — while still providing what we FarmMCLEAN, VIRGINIA hope will be an exceptional tour experience. As the Garden Club of Virginia’s largest fundraiser, Historic Garden Week proceeds support the ongoing restoration and preservation of Virginia’s historic public gardens and landscapes, as well as a research fellowship program for students in landscape architecture.

  • Lynnhaven House Cemetery Holds Centuries of Secrets

    Lynnhaven House Cemetery Holds Centuries of Secrets

    Lynnhaven House Cemetery Holds Centuries of Secrets By Miriam Jackson, Operational Assistant, Virginia Beach History Museums The Lynnhaven House, which is located at 4409 Wishart Road, is an 18th century plantation house that displays vernacular architecture specific to the Princess Anne area. Unlike some manor houses, the Lynnhaven House was inhabited by a middle-class family, making it one of few homes in the Hampton Roads area to vary from the gentry architectural style. The House was built by the Thelaball family circa 1725, and remained within the family, eventually being inhabited by their cousins, the Bousch family. Currently, the Virginia Beach History Museums manages the House, as well as other historic sites in Virginia Beach. The Francis Land House, Thoroughgood House and Princess Anne County Training School/Union Kempsville High School Museum are also operated by the Virginia Beach History Museums. One of the more interesting characteristics of the Lynnhaven House lies not within the home itself, but in the surrounding grounds. In the yard near the House lies a cemetery where four tomb boxes can be seen by guests. The tombs belong to past inhabitants of the site, and some of the epitaphs are still visible. However, archaeological evidence proves that there may be as many as five additional burials near these tomb boxes. Based on the evidence from the Chicora Foundation, the box tombs underwent reconstruction by masons in 1975, and additional excavations on the cemetery area were conducted in 1982. Based on this research by the Chicora Foundation, they determined that “reanalysis reveals that in addition to the four marked burials restored in 1975, there were four additional brick crypts or vaults, plus one burial that may, or may not, have been placed in a brick vault” (Trinkley, Hacker 2013).
