Fodor's Review:

Weston Manor, built in 1789 by the Gilliam family, is a classic example of Virginia Georgian architecture, a formal five-bay manor with hipped roof. The family immigrated to Virginia in the 1600s as indentured servants, eventually acquiring several area plantations. Family members were descendants of Pocahontas, and a cousin married Thomas Jefferson's daughter Maria. The distinctive interior moldings, wainscoting, and chair rails are 85% original.

  • Cost: $8
  • Open: Apr.-Oct., Mon.-Sat. 10-4:30, Sun. 1-4:30; Nov.-Mar., by appointment.
