Historic House and Farm
A Clarke County Treasure
Welcome
to Long Branch
Long Branch Historic House and Farm is a 1811 historic house located on 400 acres in Boyce, Virginia, about one hour and a half from the Washington, D.C. area.
Our purpose is to preserve and utilize the assets of the Long Branch estate for the benefit of our local and regional communities. The historic house, horse retirement farm and scenic open spaces allow us to promote education and environmental preservation and to host community and private events. The house and grounds are open to the public, and our scenic Sheila Maqueen Gardens are the perfect location for weddings and private events. Please feel free to visit the house, enjoy a picnic on our beautiful grounds and hike or walk our pristine property at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
