Greetings - for more information about Bremo, take a look at the entries
in the Virginia Historical Inventory Project (http://eagle.vsla.edu/vhi) -
try a keyword search on Bremo, or Cocke. While the reports and images
are not yet available online, there is quite a bit of information
in the record descriptions. If you find something you need, a hard copy
can be provided until the images are loaded.
One question always leads to another:
In one of the descriptions, Bremo was said to have a "ha-ha" wall around
the main plantation house.
What is a ha-ha wall?
