Hours: Year Round
Virginia and Butch Hamlet love their Virginia home. It's where they've lived since 1987, the year after they married. It's where they've raised their three boys, Harrison, Lee and Mitchell, as well as Yesid, Kevin and Kaleb. Eltham Manor has the feel of a family home, complete with dogs, pick-up football games and skeet shooting.
The home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register, also tells part of the story of the once predominantly agricultural area's rise to preeminence in American industry.
