Archeological dig and historic preservation documentation at Clermont Farm, Berryville, VA

In 2015 the Clermont Farm in Berryville VA hired me to document a professional archaeological dig around and the preservation of the historic slave quarters at Clermont Farm in the context of a Virginia Department of Historic Resources grant. Clermont is a 355 acre farm and national historic district located near Berryville, Clarke County, Virgina. George Mason University did the archeology; HistoriCorps along with a cadre of talented volunteers stabilized the building. As my boss and the CEO of the Clermont Farm & Legacy, Bob Stieg, said of the process, "we had to hide it (the former slave quarters) in order to preserve It." These are only a few of the photographs I took and do not include any of the educational videos I made for them. For a full accounting call Mary Lou Rhodes Office Manager, Clermont Foundation for a tour by the excellent CEO, Mr. Stieg, of Clermont Foundation. 540-955-0102. The farm is closed to the public but there are specific times and events that make it available The history of it is most interesting. It was originally a land grant from Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron to John Vance in 1751. It's ownership is well documented. The funding source for this project is "Hurrican Sandy Disaster Relief Assistance Grants for Historic Properties, administered nationally by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service and in Virginia, by the Department of Historic Resources. VERY INTERESTING. Very detailed, very worth learning about.
