So ornate and exotic. The antiques we filled it with were not quite so grand but just as lovely. The home we are renovating this time is not quite as large and lovely but the history is just as as amazing. I've moved from a Kentucky Railroad barons home to a home built well before the last one, this one in the late 1700's to very early 1800's in historic Virginia.

I can see all of those slaves in the yard and out back.This place does not have good spirits.

Originally from MS, this is one of many beautiful old homes around the state. This is one of the most beautiful ones that I have seen. Bet it takes a fortune to keep up. God's blessings. 💜

Esta casa es sumamente preciosa, en cuanto los detalles de interior, no tengo palabras para valorisarla, es increíble.

[@SilverSunPublishing]

What a beautiful home, lovingly restored. So lucky to have escaped the ravages of the Civil War (1861-1865). You are right that this would make an incredible Bed and Breakfast get-away.

[@ravisriram6746]

Reminds me of the ones I visited in Louisiana: graceful, elegant and steeped in history.

[@maryblackburn4929]

It's very beautiful, and I'm glad Henrietta was awarded reparations. It couldn't give her back her freedom, but at least her kids were able to go to college.

[@clairelivefreeordie2551]

What a masterpiece filled with history & bright, open spaces throughout...oh those floors alone are a treasure!

[@ANewday19]

Out of all of the places I have ever viewed as far as plantation homes this has got to be the Most Precious of them all ❤,and Ty for the story of Henrietta,pay attention to the plantation homes that have fallen into disarray and the ones that are still standing in all of their splendor,like Brandon Hall,much to be said there! ❤Ty for your video

[@marilynmalone7238]

These Old Mansions should be protected in every State ,they have such History of the past ,these Homes can never be replaced,most are one of a kind Architectures l

[@catpuckett4078]

I love the small details that are often missed in restoration! The shoe fly fan is spectacular!

[@megenberg8]

often an actual ice sculpture would take its place in the center of the tabletop to fan ambient air of a lower temp in the direction of seated guests. the designs varied but tended to be artistic or elaborate with oblong dimensions. flowers and fruit accented the piece, along w/ the beautiful silver, porcelain, and glassware. bring on the bounty!!

I've wanted to go visit Natchez Mississippi, was even planning years ago with my three children, but never got around to it. The US South is full of homes like this one. Alot of upkeep high maintenance homes, but they're gorgeous and majestic if can afford it. Definitely would need a solar panels system, and everything else to make it environmentally friendly and cost efficient. Just saw an ad reminding me of that. I'm not planning on it, but I don't know what this is really about me at all. I'm kinda very done with big homes, but it's always been about someone else into them, and if love them, give them all that want within your own talents to make them happy. Also needs an elevator, basically because of taking things up and down stairs. It's had a lot of owners. Lol I wonder why. It's beautiful as is, just doesn't excite me. Has forty acres of land. Need quite a few people for help. It's a successful bed and breakfast, so I wonder why they're selling it. I thought about that myself, but someone beat me to buying the only place where I am, to give it a classical charm. An unusual case of moved an old house. There's nothing like that in the county, where still close to beaches.

[@marydejesus1912]

You both are incredible, love your updates & how you really care about preserving the history of the homes . Simply beautiful ❤️

Beautiful home! I have always been fascinated by these lovely plantation homes. The history itself is remarkable. Great story about Henrietta. I will have to check out that book. This video was beautifully done.

@Amber Craig I believe I was referring to Henrietta. You can't change history.

@AJC NOBODY cares about hurting you’re feelings or anyone else’s! Please, get over it! If you are too emotional to watch these videos, then please don’t, bc our History is NOT all about you and the blacks! We fought a whole civil war to free them, but I guess that’s not enough right? Get out of here. We’re tired of hearing you type of people cry “victim” about everything! Get over it!!!!

This is gorgeous and you all did a wonderful job showing the property. (Loved the 2 campeachy chairs in front hallway). Thank you!!

This is a stellar timepiece and the tour was fabulous. I would've liked to see behind the closed doors in the bedrooms and a glimpse at the servants stairs and kitchens.

Georgia doesn't have many older homes of any kind left as Sherman's march burned most. It's amazing to me to go further north or west and see how many older homes are left.

[@wandagarcia1955]

It's always nice to hear a part of history.

[@joankelley3772]

Very lovely. Really makes me miss living in our historic mansion in Kentucky. These bedrooms seem a little small, I wonder if they used some of the bedroom space for the bathrooms. The funest thing to do is to go to the attic/top floor and set a chair by the windows! You can see almost forever!

[@joankelley3772]

@@RB-gt8bf much like working at McDonalds or Burger King? The home I lived in in Kentucky was on the Underground Railroad. I was 500 feet from the Ken/Tenn boarder. My house was haunted by slaves. They would not appreciate the way the young blacks of today are acting. Paul lived in the trap behind my butlers pantry, he was a good, honest man, a slave who'd made it to freedom but died there from his wounds. He spoke kindly to my children and myself. Imagine, making it to freedom only to pass away from his wounds. I respected Paul. My children respected Paul. If you've never lived with a former slave ghost, don't knock it until you try it. They're good entities.

[@joankelley3772]

I should mention Mrs. Rose (Rose is the last name). She lived there also but we rarely heard from her. Her great nephew lived across the street. I found some of Mrs. Rose's items in our attic and gave them back to the family. Her daughters HS graduation certificate (it went to an Aunt). I'm not stupid, I understand family history. I also know that Paul who I mentioned earlier would honestly not appreciate todays youth. They earned nothing, Paul earned it, it was his. This fight over reparation's, it's like kids fighting over their parents items after they're gone. No one deserves it but they all think they do.

*This Beautiful home was also built in 1856 by slaves for Gérard Brandon. They weren’t just enslaved but they built the home and worked home

It's si amazing how back then how they was able to build such a big beautiful home that still stands companies to homes today . They was built so much better back then i think and built with live and care. ❤️

The mansion is typical of beautiful Greek revival archecture of that era and equally spectacular is the narrative of Henrietta Ward which has similar aspects to the story of Letitia Carson. Ancestresses of a common shared history for which I'm proud!

I love the story of Henrietta Wood. Great piece of American history. And Brandon Hall is beautiful.

A true gem - thanks for sharing such a beautiful yet gracious property. The house is a joy, but I especially love the equally gracious grounds with those magnificent trees - if only they could talk - the stories they would weave. Very special - next best thing to being there!
