Read the ghost story below...
This is the resident of ghostly activity such as opening and shutting doors, and making odd noises at all hours of the day and night. Another victim of the Civil War?
This large Flemish Bondbrick structure was built shortly after the American Revolution by settlers of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Bishop Peter Burkholder, early Mennonite Bishop of Virginia, and his descendants were longtime residents. Within walking distance is the manor cemetery revealing family names of most early inhabitants of this historic structure.
The house served as a Civil War hospital following General Philip Henry Sheridan's devastating "burning of the Valley" in 1864. After three unsuccessful attempts to ignite the flame retardant locust wood foundation timbers, Union soldiers moved on. As one of the few large structures to survive the raid, the house was a natural refuge for the wounded and homeless.
