I'm a retired landscape contractor and worked out there for a few years. Maybe I fast forwarded through this, but the big tree in the...what I call the back, even though it's facing the river (about a mile away), is a Ginkgo biloba tree. The walk you took, went by it, next to the house. It's one of the oldest Ginkgo trees in the U.S.
Very informative, last time I was in the area, I was racing to clock to see this house, and the clock won, and was only able to get some exterior shots. I’d be curious if you could do a video on the Claremont Manor, across the James from here?
I find this fascinating. The grounds are beautiful. We visited Berkeley Plantation several years ago and didn't make it to Sherwood Forest but now thanks to you I get to see it.
Chris, thank you for the inspiration to revisit the sites in your videos. I’ve seen many so will start with the ones I have not seen. Again, THANK YOU‼️
Wife and I are sitting here enjoying your visit..she is a tour guide at Berkeley, says you’re doing a great job with the history! We keep the black cat that bit you at Berkeley last time you visited..we get a chuckle about that. She’s trying to get permission to have you come and film inside Berkeley…
Chris…VA…You are superb! Thoroughly enjoy yore tid-bits of history! One interesting structure… the Fences… the timber placed… …Here in Edgewater, MD…London Town Historical Home and Gardens, has the same jig-jag split or rail fencing… I personally would like to understand this better… thank you!
What were your impressions of the house tour? Honestly, I'd be interested in seeing it. But $35 for a house tour of a pretty "unpopular" president seems a bit steep. I'd spend that on mt Vernon or Monticello, but probably not this one.
There is lot's of Tyler's, my Great Grandmother was a Tyler. I got to visit the Mansion and actually got the family tour. I did have to give proof of lineage. He was the first to have campaign slogan's, the first to have Hail to the Chief played for, and to be the first Vice President to become President. He also fought to have Excutive powers, because Congress did not want to give him any. He had alot of first's.
Were the Tyler’s wealthy aside from his short lived presidency because how could they afford this, even the original house, in those days? I saw another video with still photographs of the inside and the furnishings are exquisite.
Just curious as to why you do so many hand motions? It’s really distracting and I turned the video off! Work on it dude you got this but just chill man 😂 like we don’t needyou to point behind you to the house we see…. Come on man😅 As a business owner my self I get it but just be yourself don’t fake it you’ll go a lot further!

His Grandson, Harrison is STILL ALIVE! Amazing.

Rode by here often but never toured. You did a great job. Now I know about the name of the place. RT 5 is a super hyway of history. Thanks.🦇
Youre the man! Binging your content my dude. Impressed with your work!
That's a beautiful Plantation. They've kept it up really well
Mr Chris, thank you again. I’m very impressed on the tidy grounds keeping!

Oh and yes LOVE all the drone shots. 👍
Beautiful place thanks ,!

Oh wow super cool, that would be awesome. Just let me know. Thanks for watching guys!
Very well done! Thanks for the tour. Full of information and interesting.
Chris we will be in Yorktown June 16-20 we are going to many of your spots!
The house was originally built for the Minge family in the 1700s, my ancestors, and then sold to President Tyler in 1842.
OMG a thank you for even mentioning me!!
Mr Chris… this tiny aspect of the portico roof …has immense meaning for me because water is drained…but how, I’m intrigued!

I wonder if the Lane Company back then is the same Lane Furniture company today? 🤔

I thought the house and tour were great. But I could understand if somebody didn’t want to pay $35 to take it.
And you can’t take photos

Interesting.
Mr Chris…I’ve danced the the Virginia Reel… sir, Dancing in NYC was very important, as was card playing among the Ladies…

President Tyler was descended and related to many early colonial families (wealth).
Was John Tyler descended from Sherwood’s? I’m 9th gen American through my father’s side and recently discovered I’m descended from Sherwood’s.
Why didn't they move Tyler back to Sherwood Forest after the war?
As I recall, at some point Tyler lost the home to the bank, it was his widow that got it back.
Does anyone presently live in the house?
I'm guessing you were not allowed to take pictures of the inside.
It’s 35 to visit the house and no photos.
I can grass & trees where I live. Didn't enjoy this at all. 19:26 😢
