I have lived in Southeast Virginia all my life and never heard of Berry Hill plantation. What a beautiful place.

Another great video. Interesting to see how far the slave quarters were from the main house. I wouldn’t want to take that walk at night. Also, it was an eerie peace as you walked the slave cemetery especially with the rain and breeze. Job well done.

Great video, Chris. Northeast of Philadelphia is Andalusia, the home of Nicholas Biddle which looks very much like Berry Hill. It’s considered one of the most pristine examples of Greek Revival and is now a house museum. Thank you for another great tour.

Chris, another great video as always. That fake FB account 'Va Travels' even stole your logo. FB shouldn't allow such shenanigans.

I know. I reported it as fake but nothing happened.

Excellent video- hopefully someone can go out to Diamond Hill Cemetery and clean it up so people can visit, perhaps make a trail to the road!! Also, Find a Grave has more information about the people buried at the Berry Hill Cemetery, for anyone interested.
@VATravelsАй бұрын
That would be a great idea. A plaque w/ some information would be neat also.

I just found your channel! And I am just going through a lot of your videos! It’s really exciting… Apparently, and I’m not sure how jazz I am about it, I am a long long descendent of John Tyler! So I did watch the Sherwood Forest one, and the one about Berkeley house! Really well done! Could I ask where you are from in Virginia?

Interesting to learn of this Mansion. My family were from Halifax County Virginia during the period you are discussing with this Mansions owners. I will research this place more to see how close it is located from where my family had lived.

While living in South Boston, it became one of my favorite haunts to visit. There is a book by LB Taylor Jr who posted a story by a caretaker who worked there so many years ago who told of the haunts of the house.. such a sweet place. If you sit upstairs on the landing while it's quiet you can feel the life of the home around you. The house used to be set up as a house downstairs.. not as a restaurant. The nursery was downstairs second room on right

Thanks for the information. Sounds like a great book to check out

What a great video! Didn't realize how large that complex was. Used to live near there. One of my grandfathers was born a few miles down the road in South Hill.

Yea, was surprised so much was back there.

I would think there were more housing units since there were over 100 enslaved persons It’s too bad the owners don’t try to preserve and even restore them and have displays telling their stories. There is such an interest now in doing this as part of revitalizing and repurposing old plantations. Love what’s been done with Mt Vernon and in Charleston’s many estates.
