Just how many beautiful houses are there in Rappahannock County? If you ask the Episcopal Church Women of Trinity Church, the answer is, “An infinite number.” And this year, just as in the past 51 years, they have chosen three of them for their annual fall Dried Flower Sale and House Tour on October 18 and 19.
This, the 52nd year of the only fund-raising event of the women of the church, is no exception to over a half century of1 opening beautiful houses for people to visit and admire. As they try to do each year, the women have chosen houses representing a different time in the history of the county.
Since the early 19th century, Bowling Green on Resettlement Road has looked down its driveway to the road in an austere and stately fashion, while at the end of that century, the Sabol House at 509 Main Street in Washington came together, perhaps, from a farrieFs and stable, to anchor the corner of Harris Hollow Road. And up past Flint Hill, through a narrow gravel road, the brand new Patria shows a European facade to a visitor.
