Scene on the Oatlands Plantation, where a stately mansion, beautiful rolling farmland, exquisite gardens, and a repository of over 200 years of American history and culture can be found here, at the Oatlands Historic House and Gardens near Leesburg, Virginia. Oatlands was established in the early 19th century by George Carter. Here there was a thriving wheat plantation and base for numerous business enterprises until the time of the Civil War. During most of the 20th century Oatlands served as the country estate of Mr. and Mrs. William Corcoran Eustis, affluent Washingtonians with strong ties to the American political arena. Now a National Trust Historic Site and a National Historic Landmark, Oatlands is flourishing with four full seasons of activities.
