Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.
~Henry David Thoreau

Happy windy Fall Equinox (sound on)

Grandmama loved a party. And had a wicked sense of humor. This from August 29, 1961.

This is familial devotion. Cousin Christine, the three-greats granddaughter of John Peyton Dulany, who purchased Welbourne in 1833, making curtains for the End Room.

Exceedingly grateful for friends who donate their time to Welbourne. Here is Susan in the middle of a two day linen-sorting project. She came for a week, just to help, and cheerfully performed every task on her “to do” list.

Welbourne is too big to do it alone. Here, we’ve enlisted Uncle Tom to help rebuild screen doors.

Last week, we hosted students taking the Virginia History summer school course at Wakefield School in the Plains, VA.

Instead of the typical tour of the house and grounds, the tables were turned and the students treated us to presentations about life on an 18th/19th century farm. We learned things about Welbourne we never knew before!

Thank you, Mr. Findler, for bringing these articulate and engaging students to Welbourne.

“Portrait of a Woman Purported to be Charlotte Corday,” by Hugues Merle, 1878

Charlotte Corday
27 July 1768 - 17 July 1793

A figure of the French Revolution, she is depicted holding a dagger in her right hand and the note instructing her to murder Jean-Paul Marat in his bath (the sign on the door says “l’ami du peuple”) in her left. She died on this day in 1793 by guillotine for the murder of Marat.

The only portrait at Welbourne of a non-family member.

1840 Howard and Davis banjo clock. Cherry, painted to look like rosewood. It was out for repair for two months. It’s back in its rightful place, where it has marked the time for the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe and innumerable guests. The front hall was incomplete without it and too quiet. There are signatures from the 19th C scratched into the lenticle.

The first Wellness at Welbourne Unwind and Wine yoga event was a success!
Thanks to the yogic guidance of Monica Fernandi - Grow Strength Within and refreshments compliments of local winery Slater Run Vineyards and charcuterie board creator Host it With the Most , featuring local cheeses and charcuterie.

Don’t worry if you missed this one - we’re hosting another in July!

#fbf: Richard Henry Dulany of Welbourne, founder of The Upperville C**t & Horse Show, in about 1905 at the age of 85. The UCHS is the oldest and one of the most prestigious horse shows in America. Established in 1853 by Dulany, who also founded the Piedmont Fox Hounds, the show was originally designed to encourage better treatment of young horses and improve the local breeding stock.

@uppervillehorseshow continues today - the first full week of June - #undertheoaks.
