Historic Kenmore Plantation, Fredericksburg, Virginia

This beautiful plantation house and its surrounding buildings were built in 1776 by Fielding Lewis for his wife Betty, who was also the sister of George Washington.  Lewis sank a lot of money into the war effort against Britain during the American fight for independence, and apparently his ghost is still concerned over the state of his finances.  He has often been seen sitting and going over his papers with a sour look on his face, and he has also been heard pacing the first floor hall very heavily.  Staff have also reported seeing doorknobs turn on their own.
