Plantation site? Maybe Hillary can come to the party. Maybe even represent this plantation.

I am not certain if this is Rosegill ($4,975,000.00). But the property listing details says it was "Once Home To A Virginia Governor."

Here's a little history, for people that like this sort of stuff.

"Agatha Eltonhead was christened 10 February 1623 at Saint Mary's in Prescot, England. Her first husband was Luke Stubbins.

Then she married Ralph Wormeley and became hostess of Rosegill in Middlesex County, Virginia, and mother of two sons, including the second Ralph Wormeley, who like his father was prominent in Virginia colonial politics.

Upon marriage to her third husband Sir Henry Chicheley, Agatha became Lady Agatha. Her Oxford-educated third husband came from the same family as an Archbishop of Canterbury. Sir Henry served twice as acting governor of Virginia and was in political hot water after the Bacon Rebellion, which seems to have been about the falling price of tobacco on the London Market."

Sounds like the tendrils of the beast that is suburban Washington DC are claiming another victim.
