This reconstructed eighteenth century farmstead was originally located on land near Boswell's Tavern granted to Gilbert Gibson in 1728. The property was bought in 1790 by Robert Michie, whose brother founded the famous Michie Tavern. In the early 1800s, a field school was conducted in the house. The structures, along with major funding for reconstruction, were donated by Virginia Vermiculite, LLC in 2013 and dedicated to the memory of Bob Sansom.
