The first windmill erected in English North America was built at Flowerdew Hundred by 1621. The plantation was originally listed at $12.2 million.
Horseshoe Farm — Includes 882 acres in Rapidan, Virginia at the junction of the Robinson and Rapidan Rivers, which gives the property its horseshoe shape and name.
