Both glorified for their g randeur and denounced for their central role in an early American economy based on slavery\, Virginia's plantations still fascinate us.

Visiting 40 pl antations throughout the state\, the authors interviewed mansion guides to dig deeper and uncover little known accounts of life in these palatial ho mes.
