According to the Friends of Green Spring website:
The Friends
The Friends of the National Park Service for Green Spring, incorporated in 1997, is a non-profit organization dedicated to researching, preserving, and presenting Historic Green Spring and its history for public education and enjoyment. The Colonial National Historic Park has been the steward of Green Spring since 1966.
Green Spring
Built as a home for Governor Sir William Berkeley in 1645, Green Spring is located three miles from Jamestown, near Williamsburg, Virginia. This historical site, while closed to the public, is significant in its potential for learning about the complex roots of what we know today as the United States of America.
I had a magnificent time last year attending the days events. The National Park Rangers offered excellent information and the "Friends" were a great group of people to meet.
