The Manor at Glen Gordon, located in the venerable County of Rappahannock, Virginia, offers a retreat into the past, present and future. Originally, the land grant encompassed over 10,000 acres along the Shenandoah National Park and displays magnificent sunset views over the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Possibly dating back to the late 1700's, the manor house site was originally the Wells Fargo stage coach stop. The house was then constructed in 1800 and later purchased by Basil Gordon of Scotland and his wife who was a cousin of Wallis Simpson. Mrs. Gordon's sister owned the equally impressive farm across the street which became a competition between the two of outstanding gardening and gracious entertaining. In the early 1920's the Gordon's extensively expanded and improved upon the property. Known as the Windsor Lodge it served as a hunting lodge to the wealthy and aristocratic. Glen Gordon was host to many fox hunt meets along with other country pursuits of hunting and fishing. Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson often visited the lodge and entertained dignitaries from around the world.
