Year Round
Historic Tours
The rich, fascinating history creates images of romance, intrigue and
antebellum splendor. An exquisite 7,000 square foot example of Carpenter's
Gothic architecture, Edgewood was once a part of Berkeley Plantation, the
ancestral home of U.S. Presidents William Henry and Benjamin Harrison, a
signer of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout its dramatic history,
it has served as a church, post office, telephone exchange, restaurant,
nursing home and a signal post for the Confederates to spy on McLellan's Army. Dating circa 1849, this is a
National & State regulated landmark.
September - November 2007
Haunted Tours
Tour Edgewood Plantation and learn of the tragic legacy of the Civil War.
The legend of Lizzie Rowland lives on at Edgewood
as Lizzie carved her name on an upstairs bedroom window and has been seen by
many of our own guests. Many people believe that Lizzie still awaits her
husband and watches for him from upstairs.
