Nelson County is old Virginia nestled up against the Blue Ridge.
Our first stop was historic Oak Ridge Estate for the opening of Camp Jeep 2001. Four years ago, I toured Oak Ridge and the amount of progress they have made in this private restoration of this estate whose history stretches back 250 years is phenomenal. At almost 5,000 acres Oak Ridges is the largest estate open to the public in Virginia. A look at news and events on their web site will give you an idea of how many people visit here. Perhaps on the rear porch overlooking the gardens or any number of a dozen picturesque sites around the property.
