My sister-in-law used to live less than 15 minutes from it so we went there a couple of times. I truly enjoyed the history and the beauty of the inside !
These Hills are my direct ancestors. The town in Southwest Virginia called Hillsville in Carroll County, Virginia named for them. My gg grandmother was Eliza Jane Hill from this area.
Love your videos! Thanks for putting these up. I think you do a great job and also love the drone footage. These places are all places I hope to get to at some point. There is so much to see in this country and especially in Virginia. Love your passion for history! Again, you do a great job with these. Love the authenticity of them. Rock on!
It looks like a lovely property and the design of the main house as well as the surrounding acreage seems well maintained and has an almost old world gothic feel to it
Bad choice for background music. Should have had something reflecting the grandness and history of the house and property. After all it is 400+ years of history.
wish these *no filming inside* places understood that there's people out there like me, who would never visit something like this unless i was inspired to. And the inspiration is found in the places they don't allow filming... so too bad. xo
Ha! you glossed right over the staircase. If I recall right (from my 2016 visit), the significance of it is that it's a "floating" staircase with no visible support. Love your videos though, very informative.
Would have been nice to see the inside of main house such a pity there was no filming allowed . The rest of the video was good thank you . I've always been interested in old house's even here in England been to a lot also up in Scotland . Hope to see more of your video's . From across the pond
Why didn't you mention anything about slavery? I myself have visited and I know they had a lot of slaves, hence the wealth, be good to hear the whole story.
@@margarettickle9659, usually bricks were made on site by enslaved people. Most often, enslaved people made the bricks AND built the houses. Personally, I wish those relaying history would give credit where credit is due.
These people, the Carter's are relatives of mine. My great-great grandmother was a Carter. Her father was brother of Ann Hill Carter, mother of Robert E Lee. Sure would like to visit my cousins.
My relatives home… beautiful hope to visit all of them some day…. Westover, Berkeley, and more….. related to many Founding Father’s and President’s and lots of first settlers….so amazing 👩🌾
Just look at what Blacks built! Half of the Carter family was probably Black. That's how it worked on those plantations. They were all mixing with each other. Just imagine what life must have been like for the slaves. The film guy did a good job showing us the scenery of the plantation.
Sure, it's foul, like chicken duck,or turkey. Taste more like duck, they're small. Ninney. Y'all people,idk.you eat lobster tails and ask a question like that,I sure don't do escargot, but some people do.
The video presenter has nothing to hide or to be ashamed of. This is the history video they decided to do. If you don't like it then go make your own. But I'm sure if he talked a lot about slavery then you would say he was "gloryfing" slavery'
