More tnan a thousand visitors are expected in Rappahannock County this weekend for the thirteenth annual House Tour and Dried Flower Arrangement Sale, sponsored by the Women of the Church Of Bromfield-Parish in Washington, Va.
Flower arrangements, representing the work of many months, will be sold in the Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall on Saturday and Sunday, October 17 and 18.
Three homes will be open this year. The first of them, known locally as the “Roy House,” is a log structure built about 1796 and enlarged by Middleton Miller in 1840. The dwelling recently was remodeled and modernized and is the home of Mrs. Harry Hurtt.
A few miles to the west, on State Route 621, is The Shade, built in 1780 by Charles Green on a 3,500-acre land grant. The property is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Summers of Washington, D. C., and is operated by them as a beef cattle farm and nursery. During the Civil War, The Shade was occupied by Union soldiers; some of their bayonet scars remain to this day. Of special interest are the great boxwoods, planted as English slips by the first owners nearly 200 years ago.
