They had a wonderful little exhibit underneath the visitor's center filled with older automobiles. One of them was the first car Caroline Foster (daughter of the properties second owner) received as a gift from her friends as her father would never let her have one. Even after she received that car, her father still refused to let her drive until he became ill and needed to go to the doctors. Quite a lovely car and very generous friends she had!

The one place that I was most excited to visit was the Fosterfield's Living Historical Farm. I went to a similar one here by me, Longstreet Farms, but this one was a bit bigger and more grand. The Revere family (as in grandson of Paul Revere) lived here for some time. There was a lovely older mansion on the property that was WELL worth the tour. I absolutely loved it and all the little details that my tour guide was able to tell me about. It's always nice to find a person so interested in what they are showing you.
