SUMMARY:Lavender & Legacy: A 250th Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The house at Clifton was built in 1785 — nine years after the Declaration of Independence. This July\, as America marks its 250th anniversary\, Two Bees Lavender is opening this historic estate for a day that connects the land\, the lavender\, and the rich story of the Northern Neck and its role in shaping America. \nClifton is now the farm and personal home of Stacey and Kevin Noll\, owners of Two Bees Lavender. The house\, three outbuildings\, farmland\, and interspersed woods occupy part of the vast Virginia lands originally held by Robert “King” Carter. The 1785 house built for Landon Carter II was added to and renovated in the early 1800s and 1860s. After building the house\, Landon and Catherine Taylor Carter lived there for a decade before moving to the Carter ancestral home\, Sabine Hall\, in Richmond County. During several periods in its history Clifton has been used as a “getaway” or hunting lodge. Clifton remained in the Carter family until 1842 when it was sold to James Armistead Palmer\, and it was owned by the Palmer family into the 2000s when the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. \nTickets $25.\nTickets are timed and spaces are limited! \nWhat’s included:\nGuided Historic House Tours with Lancaster Virginia Historical Society volunteers. (Note: This private historic home is not ADA accessible and stairs are required for entry.)\nA guided lavender picking experience in the field.\nMeet with with an archaeologist from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources to learn about what the land itself has to tell us about the people who lived and worked here. \nAlso on Site:\nLavender lemonade and food for purchase.\nShopping in the Two Bees Lavender Farm Store.\nBook signing by local author J. Clare (books for sale).
