Scenes from a recent autumn stroll around George Washington’s Ferry Farm. This semester’s Fleming-Smith Scholar Courtney Kuzemchak, a student at the University of Mary Washington, captured these seasonal images.  You can see photos of Ferry Farm in winter here and a video from summer here.

The Great Oak Pavilion was built in 2005 by the Timber Framers Guild and Virginia Military Institute.

The so-called “Surveyor’s Shed,” long-held by local legend to be George’s surveying office, actually dates from the late 1800s.
