Abstract:

Built in the 1920s by Betsy and Thomas Jefferson Penn, Chinqua-Penn Plantation in Rockingham County is a unique blend of gardens, architecture, and works of art, including tapestries and reverse-glass paintings. Calvin and Lisa Phelps bought the property in 2006 and have plans for a winery and overnight accommodations.
