History

Within the Blennerhassett estate’s pleasure-garden, not everything served pleasure or style. Somewhere inside its high wall was a pond of unknown size, dug out, lined with clay, and maintained to supply fish for the mansion’s dinner table. The most famous eighteenth-century American fish pond belonged to Thomas Jefferson and still survives on the grounds of Monticello.
