Avenel House; Bedford, VA
October 17, 2008: Avenel House investigation; Bedford, VA
Built circa 1838 by William M. Burwell and his wife, Frances Steptoe Burwell, Avenel has been the centerpiece of social, cultural, and political life in Bedford, VA for over 150 years. In 1906, Avenel was purchased from the Burwell family by J.W. Ballard. The home remained in the Ballard family until 1985 when it was purchased by the non-profit Avenel Foundation. Guests of Avenel House include authors Edgar Allan Poe, George Bagby, General Robert E. Lee (the table from which he drank his morning coffee still stands in the house), and it is speculated that Thomas Jefferson himself visited the house, as one of the Burwell men was his Secretary.
