Don't know your location. Potomac News had an article about this sale a few weeks ago. The county govt. is trying to buy it as a historical site. It is also being offered to the general public as I understand. The price tag is rather large. You would be buying a piece of history. It is one of the oldest if not the oldest original home in PWC. Might want to contact the Prince William County Library, Bull Run Regional Library is home to the history room so would be your best bet. My guess someone in the history room is following the developments. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mary j cleghon" <mjcle1@juno.com> To: <VAPWILLI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 11:06 AM Subject: [VAPWILLI-L] rippon lodge > > > > > looking for information on the Blackburn Family Connected to the Rippon > Lodge House For Sale > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -_ > > > ==== VAPWILLI Mailing List ==== > Visit the Prince William County, USGenWeb Home Page! > http://www.rootsweb.com/~vapwilli/pw.htm > Check out the Prince William Archives and add your records! > http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/princewi.htm >
