Each year Virginia history enthusiasts bring out their hats and seersucker for the Virginia Historical Society's annual Garden Party at Virginia House. This video captures interviews with just a few of the more than 600 guests and staff that came to this historic house in Richmond's Windsor Farms neighborhood last year to enjoy the terraced gardens overlooking the James River. For the 20th year, Virginia House and its beautiful gardens hosted VHS members, staff, and guests on a sunny April afternoon. The home was built in 1929 from a 16th-century English manor for ambassador Alexander Weddell, a former VHS president, and his wife, Virginia.
