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.
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…
Chris, thank you for the inspiration to revisit the sites in your videos. I’ve seen many so will start with the ones I have not seen. Again, THANK YOU‼️
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
Just curious as to why you do so many hand motions? It’s really distracting and I turned the video off! Work on it dude you got this but just chill man 😂 like we don’t needyou to point behind you to the house we see…. Come on man😅 As a business owner my self I get it but just be yourself don’t fake it you’ll go a lot further!

His Grandson, Harrison is STILL ALIVE! Amazing.
Mr Chris, thank you again. I’m very impressed on the tidy grounds keeping!
Youre the man! Binging your content my dude. Impressed with your work!

That's a beautiful Plantation. They've kept it up really well

Oh and yes LOVE all the drone shots. 👍
Beautiful place thanks ,!
Great tour !!!!! Beautiful setting
Mr Chris… this tiny aspect of the portico roof …has immense meaning for me because water is drained…but how, I’m intrigued!
Thanks for this tour…so beautiful. Would be so cool to see inside by tour.
Chris we will be in Yorktown June 16-20 we are going to many of your spots!

Very well done! Thanks for the tour. Full of information and interesting.
Mr Chris…I’ve danced the the Virginia Reel… sir, Dancing in NYC was very important, as was card playing among the Ladies…

I wonder if the Lane Company back then is the same Lane Furniture company today? 🤔
The house was originally built for the Minge family in the 1700s, my ancestors, and then sold to President Tyler in 1842.

I thought the house and tour were great. But I could understand if somebody didn’t want to pay $35 to take it.
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.
President Tyler was descended and related to many early colonial families (wealth).
I'm guessing you were not allowed to take pictures of the inside.
Why didn't they move Tyler back to Sherwood Forest after the war?
As I recall, at some point Tyler lost the home to the bank, it was his widow that got it back.
Does anyone presently live in the house?
