The Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society, in partnership with ESLAND and Bay Creek, presents a reception, lecture, and book signing of The Gentleman’s Farm: Elegant Country House Living on Friday, October 28 at 6:30 p.m. at Mimosa Farm in Cape Charles.
The Gentleman’s Farm is a beautifully written and photographed book highlighting the historic classical architecture of presidential homes, such as Mount Vernon and Monticello, and gentleman farmer homes, including the Eastern Shore of Virginia’s Eyre Hall, a historic plantation home located in Northampton County owned by the Eyre family since 1668.
Authors Laurie Ossman and Debra A. McClane, and photographer Walter Smalling, Jr. will speak and sign copies of the books, which will be available for sale during the event. Ossman, Director of Museum Affairs at The Preservation Society of Newport County (Rhode Island), is the author of Great Houses of the South and co-author of Carrère & Hastings: The Masterworks. McClane is an architectural historian and preservationist in Richmond, Virginia, and the author of Botetourt Country, Virginia, Revisited. Smalling is a widely published architectural photographer whose books include Uncommon Vernacular: The Early Houses of Jefferson County, West Virginia, 1735-1835.
