Review & FAQ:
The historic Kenmore plantation was built and owned by Fielding Lewis and his wife Betty Washington Lewis, who was the sister of our nation’s first president, George Washington. Lewis was a rich man who built his house from the money he earned trading with England, until the Revolutionary War, when his business was interruped. But his house stillm stands as an amazing example of Georgian architecture and historic elegance, and visitors today can take a 45 minute guided tour of the house’s first story and kitchen, or stroll the grounds and gardens at their own pace.
