An Old House for a New Home

Our new house is an old Virginia Farmhouse. It was first built in 1790 as a log cabin. There were additions made in 1830 and then again in 1865. In the 1980's a main level master bedroom was added and it was renovated and made into a bed and breakfast. The neighbor told us that originally the king of England granted 1000 acres each to a man named John Slusser and his brother. We have 4.6 acres left of that original 1000 acres and the old farmhouse.
