Heather is a Saint. This house must be saved!
Not only is it stunning, the history is beautiful, and families who lived there great people.

Wow, this film is AMAZING! brings back so many memories. I’m so glad that Michael was able to capture the amazing story where I used to visit with my first girlfriend in the 1980s. I don’t remember how we got to see it, but I really wish this place would be restored, because it means so much to me. Even though she broke my heart when I asked her to marry me in front of they archway, it made me the person I am today and I will never forget that. Go Heather and team!!

I love it there.. My family genealogy shows they were some of the founding families of Farmville and Hampden Sydney College..Because of that I could of had free Tuition and all expenses paid.. But back then I didn't want to live in a small college town so Virginia Tech it was.. now some 40 years later I regret that.. ( Funny Karma..I became a Virginia State Trooper and did my FTO where else but Farmville..lol)

This is heartbreaking 💔 It's a perfect example of how corporations don't care about history and only the families took loving care of the house 🥰 I don't understand how it deteriorated that fast in less than 20 years 😥

[patricatfurever]

Gorgeous! If I only had the funds! Praying that it eventually will be restored 🙏🏼

[SandraOshea-do]

This is awesome. Bless the young women that has a love for it. Will keep it lifted in prayer.

[TheWvubaby]

Wow this home was a happy home and then it’s like the mansion was sad because the love and families left it. 😢
