Belle Grove Plantation
Belle Grove is an 18th-century grain and livestock farm which was the center of the decisive battle Battle of Cedar Creek during the Civil War. The plantation includes the main house and gardens, original outbuildings, a classic 1918 barn, an overseer’s house, the slave cemetery, a heritage apple orchard, fields and meadows, and scenic mountain views.

It’s wonderful to see Belle Grove Plantation looking so lovely. I visited ti twice with my uncle, Stewart Bell of Winchester, Virginia. I have a question for you concerning the reason kitchens were placed in out buildings before modern kitchens were invented. I am having a disagreement with Nancy Carlisle, who co-wrote the book, America’s Kitchens. I would love to hear what you have to say.
Thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely,
