Morven Park - Built: 1780

Morven Park (built circa 1780) is best know as the home of Westmoreland Davis, Virginia's 55th Governor, and his wife Marguerite, daughter of a wealthy New York cotton broker. Davis, who served as governor from 1918 to 1922, purchased Morven Park in 1903. As farmer and as an advocate of progressive agriculture. He ran Morven Park farm as a model of efficiency and productivity and shared what he learned with other farmers, who would eventually encourage him to run for governor.

Molven Park was modified over the years and now stands in a Greek Revival mansion and is furnished as it was when the Davis's lived there.
