Today's place of interest isn't abandoned, but it is packed full of history. Welcome to Washington Bottom Farm, located in between Romney and Springfield, West Virginia. Washington Bottom Farm, also known as Ridgedale, is a 19th Century Greek Revival Plantation house that was built in 1835 and owned by the farmer, George William Washington, who was a relative of the President George Washington. These walls have many stories to tell, but my dear friend Mike Shaw, who is the current owner of the property, tells them the best. They have been slowly restoring the farm over the years, and they have done a wonderful job. This piece of property is absolutely stunning, and the perfect slice of heaven in my opinion. They also have a restored log home that is now used as an Air B&B, and the couple that lives there occasionally does tours of their beautiful home, all while teaching their visitors the history of the home! Enjoy the photos and stay tuned for more!
