Historic HIGHLIGHTS of Downtown LEESBURG, VA

[@cuppajoylady]

Fantastic historic travel video! We've just discovered that my husband's 8th great grandfather, Francis Awbrey/Aubrey (born 1690), owned the land that Leesburg is built upon. It was a tobacco plantation, which was passed to his son, John, then sold to John Carlisle, who then sold it to Nicolas Minor. 😊

That is so INCREDIBLE! You’ll have to come visit Leesburg one day.

Hope y'all enjoyed Leesburg. I grew up near there but the area has changed so much. So crowded and busy!

[@thetravelingstewarts]

Yeah it’s amazing how much downtown Leesburg has evolved!

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

@@thetravelingstewarts Mainly the whole area. I was a teenager in the 90s , and it was like a sleepy area then. It had a laid back feel. It's built up so much , especially on Rt 7.

[@thetravelingstewarts]

@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Yeah it’s totally different now, especially Rte. 7!

Leesburg is a beautiful Historic town I've heard mentioned, but never knew anything about. I enjoyed seeing the log cabin since I lived in one built in 1741. Also I am Methodist and that segment was interesting to me. All and all a great "get acquainted" with Leesburg blog! Keep up the good work.

The stone house use to be a tea house when I lived there. Glad to see the mill was still up and going. Great job you two.!

Great job on this history video I am performing at Fleetwood Farm Winery & Willowcroft Farm Vineyards in Leesburg VA this year and I wanted to learn about the history I do before all of my shows! Thank you again subscribed! 🇺🇸👍

Do you need a membership to use Ida Lee Rec center?

[@thetravelingstewarts]

We don’t think so. You should be able to pay a daily fee, depending on what facilities you’re trying to use. The fee is around $6.00 per person.
