Scenic View/Photo Spot

The Appomattox Manor, the Eppes family home, was constructed in the 1760s (the middle portion of the house that we see today). Directionally built to face the river, the Eppes family took advantage of the better light and airflow through this southern exposure. As the family grew throughout time, so did the family home.
