A FRONT ROW SEAT TO AMERICAN VICTORY AT YORKTOWN - (An Historical & Pictorial Tour of ‘LITTLE ENGLAND’)

SUNDAY, JULY 13, 2025
2 P.M. - HISTORIC BUCK’S STORE MUSEUM
BENA, VA 23018

It’s quite evident from its location, the importance of the Gloucester County colonial home, ‘Little England’, during the Revolutionary War Battle at Yorktown: it served as a look-out station for the Americans to keep an eye on British movement at Yorktown. We invite you to a pictorial tour of this magnificent home located at the junction of the York River & Sarah Creek as you learn of its chain of owners and their families, the home’s modifications and the roles it played as a plantation manor, a family farm, the premier daffodil farm and, now, a personal residence. This interesting and intriguing story will be presented by a former, long-time caretaker of the estate, Mrs. Linda Grow. She and her husband, David, were caretakers there from 1994 to 2013 and were privy to private histories, personal family portraits, little known facts and rarely seen interior photographs of this treasured old colonial home.

Join us at Buck’s Store Museum as we are treated to little known stories and secrets of ‘Little England’.

This program is part of the Gloucester 250th Second Sunday Series & VA250.
