Red Hill- Patrick Henry National Monument

Brookneal, Virginia   June 1, 2012

We stopped in here from our stay in the Lynchburg, Virginia Area. 

Red Hill was the home of the Patriot Patrick Henry, from the early days of the American Revolutionary area. 

Mr Henry bought Red Hill in 1794, and lived in it until 1799, when he passed away. 

Here is the Wiki page for this location:

This is an affiliate to the National Park System, so it doesn't "count" towards the "official" totals. 

This is the main house of the estate, which was rebuilt in the late 1990's.  It was a very simple house, and commanded a very pretty view of the valley below.

This was Mr Henry's law office, located near the main house.

Got a pin, and the site stamp for this location.
