Pharsalia

We at long last visited Pharsalia, the 1815 home of William Massie in Nelson County.  It is only open a few times a year for tours and we've always managed to be busy, but they are hosting a number of events this year for the 200th anniversary of the plantation and we managed to get to the first of these, a folk life festival:

Scenic wagon ride to top of the hill
