Conclusion
_THE ANCIENT MANSION SEATS_
Visitors to the Northern Neck often ask the question: "Where are the old
houses?"
Most of the remaining ancient seats are off the beaten path due to the
fact that when they were built the rivers, creeks and bays were the
highways.
Many of the old houses burned, either accidentally or during the wars.
Others fell into decay during the years of depression following the
Civil War, and after traffic by boat was discontinued.
Some of the early homes were remodeled beyond recognition, or torn down
to give way for new buildings. Some were bought by persons of wealth and
faithfully restored by them. A few of the old seats are still owned and
lived in by descendants of the original planters who built them.
Portions of some of the old mansions of the Northern Neck found their
way into museums. An instance of this is a room from Marmion, a Fitzhugh
home of King George County. The Marmion Room in the American Wing of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, is described in the museum
literature as follows: "Of all the rooms we have gathered together,
possibly the most extraordinary and impressive is the one from Marmion."
Stratford Hall in Westmoreland County had been lost to the Lee family in
1820. Many years later, in 1929, the Robert E. Lee Memorial Foundation,
Incorporated, was organized to acquire, restore, furnish and preserve
the Stratford plantation. After a great deal of dedicated effort by a
great many people this goal was finally achieved. Under the painstaking
guidance of the ladies of the Foundation Thomas Lee's mansion was
restored to its original splendor. The garden was restored by the Garden
Club of Virginia.
Stratford Hall and plantation is now a restored working colonial
plantation open to the public. The restored mill grinds meal. Virginia
cured hams hang in the smokehouse, and jellies and preserves are made by
old recipes.
Thoroughbreds stand again in the stables. The fields are worked by
modern machinery, but the 1,164-acre estate is run as nearly as possible
as it was in the days of Thomas Lee.
Stratford Hall is pronounced "of prime architectural importance" by the
American Institute of Architects.
George Washington referred to his birthplace as "the Popes Creek home"
or the "ancient mansion seat in Westmoreland County."
The name Wakefield seems to have been given the plantation about 1773 by
the Washington heir who lived there at that time. The name is said to
have been suggested by Goldsmith's "Vicar of Wakefield."
The original house at Popes Creek was destroyed by fire. It is believed
to have burned on Christmas Day, 1779.
Thirty-six years passed before the birthsite of George Washington was
marked and then it was only by a simple stone which bore an inscription.
In 1881 Congress authorized the construction of a monument to mark the
birthsite, but fifteen years passed before the granite shaft was
erected.
A group of patriotic women were not satisfied. They dreamed of the
plantation as it was when George Washington was born, and they planned
to bring it alive again. In 1923, under the leadership of Mrs. Josephine
Wheelright Rust, they organized the Wakefield National Memorial
Association. Their goal was to restore the Wakefield plantation and make
it a shrine for all people.
The Association acquired land which adjoined Government property, and
Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., purchased additional acreage of the old
Wakefield plantation and transferred it to the Federal Government.
An act of Congress granted the Association authority to erect a building
on the birthsite "as nearly as may be practicable, of the house in which
George Washington was born."
By act of Congress, January 23, 1930, the 394.47 acres owned by the
Federal Government was designated as George Washington Birthplace
National Monument to be administered by the National Park Service of the
United States Department of the Interior.
The dream of the patriotic women came true when the new Memorial Mansion
was erected in 1930-31. It was immediately opened to the public.
Reliable information concerning the appearance of the original house
could not be found, therefore the house that was erected represents a
typical Virginia plantation house of the eighteenth century.
In the old-fashioned garden established near the Memorial Mansion there
is a sundial bearing this inscription:
"A place of rose and thyme and scented earth--
A place the world forgot,
But here a matchless flower came to birth,
Time paused and blessed the spot."
Wakefield plantation is a memorial to the many people who had a part in
saving it and bringing it to life again, as well as a monument to George
Washington.
