Description

For much of its life the Francis Land House was the center of a large plantation growing a variety of crops including flax for making linen fabric. Later, it was a dairy farm raising cows to give milk. Come learn a little about the process of making cloth from a plant and getting milk from a cow. Make a seed bomb to grow a little something in your own backyard. Enjoy story time at 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. Questions? Call (757) 385-5100 or email vbhistory@vbgov.com.
