    In the beginning you asked what those tools were. Two of them are tobacco cutters, usually kept by general stores to slice plug tobacco.

    Thanks for the video. That was a beautiful house. I'll freeze it to take a greater look at all those beautiful antiques! LOL You mentioned Turn did some filming there. My son lives in Spotsylvania but works as a PF in Henrico. He worked as an extra for that series. His costumes were great! I think he caught himself in one of the segments. You would have been fabulous for some of that filming, too! Love your grasp of history and bringing it to everyone!
