Abram's Delight Restore Highlights Shenandoah Valley Heritage

The Hollingsworth family homestead near Winchester, built began in 1754, is being restored by the Winchester-Frederick County Historical Society. The 213 year old house showcases solid limestone walls, a center hall plan, and period furnishings funded by donations and patrons. Descendants of Valentine Hollingsworth trace roots to 17th century England and the 1732 land grant, with the property playing host to hospitality and Civil War disruptions.
