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?
