CPSA paired with the Farmington Historical Society Foundation to present a special tour of Farmington, first patented in 1753. In 1803 Thomas Jefferson drew plans for an addition to the house, an octagon with two rooms. After the country club was developed in 1927 the house underwent restoration utilizing Jefferson’s original plans. The Jefferson Room was refurbished under the direction of Frederick D. Nichols professor of Jeffersonian Architecture at University of Virginia. The group also viewed Farmington’s additions designed by architect Marshall Wells.

A nearby 20th century home, Gallison Hall, was designed with Palladian features, and the group also visited this house. CPSA Board members and architectural historians Ed Lay, Richard Guy Wilson and Calder Loth led the tour with additional commentary from Blake McDonald of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
