The Glebe Amherst, VA

Posted by admin on Jun 29, 2009 in Friends and People, On the Road in America |

This beautiful house was the property of an English Church. The bricks used to build it were first, piled up to ballast boats arriving from England and transporting English settlers. Let me tell you it took a while build this wonderful house. The glebe would be worked by peasants on a regular basis, each one most likely working the glebe instead of the demesne once or twice a month.
It’s now owned by two charismatic New Yorkers, Ned -a lawyer, and Lynn, event producers who tours around the world. They now organize concerts and are involved in the Amherst cultural life.


Calm and offering a gorgeous scenery, the Glebe is also a “Bed and Breakfast”. You will visit the African goats and a nice, lush garden. Every year I use to play there but, because of water damages, the recital has been moved to the Museum…
