OMG what have they done?? The back is missing the boxwood maze...my little brother and I would spend hours running the maze..The grounds were beautiful. They had an annual car show that my Dad entered every year..I'm upset
Thanks for sharing this video. I took my wife to visit the museum. I wish for people like James Monroe they would build a much larger on somewhere. However, for the historical significance of the current location it is fine right where it is at.
Another fantastic video Chris! You're drone footage is outstanding! As always! Love it! I found Gunston Hall very hard to get to because of all the traffic in the area, but no matter. It's a fantastic Plantation to visit and tour. As a side note if you didn't know, Gen. Robert E. Lee's older brother, Smith Lee (A U. S. Naval Officer and then a Confederate Naval Officer), was married to George Mason IV's granddaughter. I don't recall if that fact is mentioned in the museum at Gunston Hall. Speaking of the Lee Family, this also reminds me of Ravensworth Plantation which was in Fairfax County. Ravensworth Plantation has a long and fascinating history, which includes Robert E. Lee's family, that I believe you will find of great interest. Ravensworth no longer stands but its legacy lives on. Thanks again for another great history lesson and video. I follow your adventures with a great deal of interest. Best Regards, The old guy in Southern Maryland
Ok no I didn't know that about R.E. Lee's brother. Thanks for sharing. Yea I'm famillier with Ravensworth. Hoping to do a video on it in the near future.
Thank you Mr Chris! Awfully tired today, Saturday, 4 August…sleeping or napping often…one “Gang-Up” on my waterfront a pit 2:00 PM…many “strangers” gathered… I may know a couple…so rude to Gang up outside my window…pace my East Berm… awful looking for me to confront them… I don’t…my Attorney B.C. is apprised…Masons Beach in Deale, MD is Not a nice place…with busy bodies…and folks who challenge my privacy… thank you for your lovely video.
Mr Chris…Have you done a video on the High Sheriff of the Low Country…when he passed, about 1979..1980.. he was buried near my home…707 Dawn Street… a watch was put on his grave for thirty days…so no one would dig up any of his body parts… no one did… my MGB was painted Blue, the Engin…to wish me Good Luck when I relocated to D.C. then to St.Louis, MO… folks in Beaufort and surrounds were most kind… take care!

It is a shame that Carter's Grove plantation is no longer open to the public. It is considered the finest brick Georgian mansion in America. I was surprised that Colonial Williamsburg sold it.
The house looks to be largely original and not overly restored. Thanks so much for sharing.
I recall reading that Gunston Hall had the finest interior moldings of any home in Colonial America.
The woodwork at this house is just wonderful. William Buckland.
I love Georgian style architecture in 🇺🇸thank u for blog.
Wonderful architecture and interior moldings.

I’m new to your channel and I find it fascinating. You are so knowledgeable. I’ll definitely keep watching. Thank you.
Great tour. Drone video is nice. Thx for posting.
We went here in elementary school in the 60’s.
I always thought it was small, but someone told me that most people lived in one room shacks.
How they mismatched floorboards with various types of wood.
It is a shame that Carter's Grove plantation is no longer open to the public. It is considered the finest brick Georgian mansion in America. I was surprised that Colonial Williamsburg sold it.
Such an estate. If Mt. Vernon was next door. he would have known Georgie quite well. Of course probably never around
Interestng. Were the chairs in the upstairs balustrade for the servants to sit on.
I doubt they were allowed to sit. They probably worked 16 hour days.
You need to do the Hammond Harwood house. William Bucklands crowning jewel.
Oh yeah, that one is definitely on my list.
Phila had all the cabinetmakers back then.for this area.
This is Philadelphia Style furniture.
Where were the slave houses???
His slaves raised the childrens.
They were not able to just free the slaves , the laws were not there yet
