The Historical Society Foundation at the exclusive Farmington Country Club would like to welcome you with a dive into the history there. What is now the clubhouse was originally a spacious house circa 1785 with an elongated wing that contained several guest rooms for George Divers' extended family. It was originally designed by Thomas Jefferson and completed in 1803. The farm buildings consisted of rows of box stalls for horses (since converted to locker rooms), large barns, and numerous other buildings.

The main house, or clubhouse, is a large, impressive brick structure. Similar to the all-weather passageway at Monticello, a covered passageway with flying buttresses led the plantation's residents from the main house to the stable. Except for the barns and a number of outlying buildings, all of the original buildings have been retained and updated.

The Farmington Historical Society is offering small guided tours at two different start times. The tour will last approximately 45 minutes. The tours are FREE, but you must register as there are limited number of spots. Please plan on arriving 15 minutes early for the tour to check in and report to your tour spot. We will email map and parking instructions in early August. There may be some accessibility issues, so email Marietta4AFL@gmail.com if you require special assistance.

Tour location is Farmington Country Club, 1625 Club Circle, Charlottesville
