Once the world was young
For I was twenty and very old
And you and I knew all the answers
What the day was, how the hours would turn
One dial was there to see
Now the world is old and I am still young
For the young know nothing, nothing

I love her house... I want to go visit it.http://www.annespencermuseum.com/house.php
I toured Korner's Folly once, and absolutely loved it. I like touring interesting(eccentric) homes.
I loved touring gardens and exploring old buildings when I was young.
Duke gardens
Longwood gardens
the gardens and buildings at Princeton University

We went through Lynchburg but missed this gem! I'll have to put it on the list for the next time we pass through!!

My wife loves these historic places. Her aunt lived in one for a long time before she had to sell it.
Lovely place.
