    Very informative, last time I was in the area, I was racing to clock to see this house, and the clock won, and was only able to get some exterior shots. I’d be curious if you could do a video on the Claremont Manor, across the James from here?

    I'm a retired landscape contractor and worked out there for a few years. Maybe I fast forwarded through this, but the big tree in the...what I call the back, even though it's facing the river (about a mile away), is a Ginkgo biloba tree. The walk you took, went by it, next to the house. It's one of the oldest Ginkgo trees in the U.S.

    I find this fascinating. The grounds are beautiful. We visited Berkeley Plantation several years ago and didn't make it to Sherwood Forest but now thanks to you I get to see it.

    I wonder if the Lane Company back then is the same Lane Furniture company today? 🤔

    Wife and I are sitting here enjoying your visit..she is a tour guide at Berkeley, says you’re doing a great job with the history! We keep the black cat that bit you at Berkeley last time you visited..we get a chuckle about that. She’s trying to get permission to have you come and film inside Berkeley…

    Mr Chris… this tiny aspect of the portico roof …has immense meaning for me because water is drained…but how, I’m intrigued!

    Chris…VA…You are superb! Thoroughly enjoy yore tid-bits of history! One interesting structure… the Fences… the timber placed… …Here in Edgewater, MD…London Town Historical Home and Gardens, has the same jig-jag split or rail fencing… I personally would like to understand this better… thank you!

    The house was originally built for the Minge family in the 1700s, my ancestors, and then sold to President Tyler in 1842.

    What were your impressions of the house tour? Honestly, I'd be interested in seeing it. But $35 for a house tour of a pretty "unpopular" president seems a bit steep. I'd spend that on mt Vernon or Monticello, but probably not this one.

    • @VATravels
      @VATravels  Рік тому

      I thought the house and tour were great. But I could understand if somebody didn’t want to pay $35 to take it.

    There is lot's of Tyler's, my Great Grandmother was a Tyler. I got to visit the Mansion and actually got the family tour. I did have to give proof of lineage. He was the first to have campaign slogan's, the first to have Hail to the Chief played for, and to be the first Vice President to become President. He also fought to have Excutive powers, because Congress did not want to give him any. He had alot of first's.

    Was John Tyler descended from Sherwood’s? I’m 9th gen American through my father’s side and recently discovered I’m descended from Sherwood’s.

    Were the Tyler’s wealthy aside from his short lived presidency because how could they afford this, even the original house, in those days? I saw another video with still photographs of the inside and the furnishings are exquisite.

    • @vrj40
      @vrj40 Рік тому +1

      President Tyler was descended and related to many early colonial families (wealth).

    Why didn't they move Tyler back to Sherwood Forest after the war?

    • @johnkoziel789
      @johnkoziel789 3 місяці тому +1

      As I recall, at some point Tyler lost the home to the bank, it was his widow that got it back.

    I'm guessing you were not allowed to take pictures of the inside.
