Five Tales and a Tour: Greengarden, Historic Mosby Safe House

Sunday, April 3, 2016 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Come visit one of the most beautiful and historic homes in the Mosby Heritage Area.  The Mosby Heritage Area Association is partnering with the Gettysburg Foundation to open historic Greengarden to the public on Sunday, April 3.

This program will begin at Buchanan Hall outside of Upperville.  Stories featuring the cavalry Battles of Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville, June 17-21, 1863, and Greengarden’s role as a safe house for Mosby’s Rangers will be shared before caravanning over to the home, located at 22439 Greengarden Road outside of Upperville.

At Greengarden, a National Historic Register site that dates from 1833, you’ll be able to tour the historic antebellum home.  Additionally, you’ll get to see a rarity in the heritage area, a “hidey hole” used by Mosby’s men for a quick escape.

Buchanan Hall, 8549 John Mosby Highway, Upperville, VA 20184. Call (540) 687-6681 for reservations.
