Last Sunday I went to check on a used boat for the coming season in Carova and happened to ride by this very historic home on the edge of The Chesapeake Bay. My friend who was showing me the boat said many early Presidents stayed here for duck hunting. This one photo does not do it justice as it spreads out quite a bit. Just looking at this 1800's home one can imagine the activity surrounding the oyster shucking buildings in the back near the water entrance. Also not in the pic are the slave quarters and the expanse of open fields still heavily populated with geese. I was given permission to go back and do some extensive studying and painting of this beautiful area.
