Shirley Plantation

This is the kitchen.



This is the tool shed. All of the posts and beams were hand hewn.




This is the front yard, on the left is the tool shed, on the right is the ice/drying house, just beyond the ice house is the kitchen. In the distance is the main house. 2 other houses flanked this house 200 years ago. One house burned down and the other was moved up the river. All 3 houses were about the same size. That's alot of gutters to clean.

This plantation served as a hospital for union troops during the Civil War and it is rumored that Robert E. Lee was born here.
