Rosewell Plantation (1725 – 1738) in Gloucester, VA was once considered one of the grandest, most stately homes in all of colonial America. Built and owned by the Page family, it was here that John Page and his college friend, Thomas Jefferson, first began to explore the ideas of a new republic. Today, after a fire in 1916, it is a mere shell of its former self, but evidence of fine craftsmanship remains. Countless artifacts now lie beneath its soil. Through meticulous preservation, archaeology, and restoration work, what is emerging is not only the history of the structure, but the stories of the people who lived and worked there, most significantly those who were enslaved on the property.
The Forbes House Museum, in partnership with Adventures in Preservation, will be presenting a virtual talk about the preservation progress of and plans for Rosewell Plantation. The talk will be given by Dr. David Brown and Thane Harpole, founders of Fairfield Foundation, and Kenneth Tappan, masonry conservation expert, all of whom know Rosewell Plantation intimately. They will provide detailed anecdotes on their work.
