HistoricDunleithEquestrian Estate~Cumberland,Virginia~Circa 1737~Established 1803~B&B Potential
Goochland County Founded 1727
Dunleith Built 1737
When Dunleith was established, Cumberland County didn't exist yet. It was part of Goochland. Dunleith main house precedes Cumberland County by 12 years
Cumberland County Founded 1749
At Effingham Tavern in Cumberland Courthouse Carter Henry Harrison read one of the first calls for the independence in the colonies on April 22, 1776. John Mayo and William Fleming subsequently presented this statement to the Virginia Convention. This initial call for independence, soon joined by other voices, led to the Declaration of Independence. George Walton, born in Cumberland County, signed this seminal document in the history of the United States.
A little fun:
You can't have a place as old as Dunleith and not have a story or legend passed down through the years. Here are a few told to us:
Jefferson Family
Before it was called Dunleith, the Jefferson family (including Thomas Jefferson) along with Thomas Randolph owned several land parcels in the area through grants and patents, one in particular, a large parcel that included several out buildings, a log cabin, & main 3-story house known today as Dunleith Estates.
The Estate took its official name Dunleith in 1803 (hence the 1803 date on all property signs)
In honor of the Jefferson story, the main dining room in Dunleith is known as The Thomas Jefferson Room
The Residing Dr. H.S. Goodman
During the Civil War (1861-1865) property owner Spencer B. Powers asked Dr. H.S. Goodman to setup a makeshift emergency office in one of the rooms of Dunleith. Union soldiers knew of the Dr. and would make trips by Dunleith to get medical services. To keep the soldiers from foraging the property, Mr. Powers would keep vats of brandy in an out building to give soldiers to drink and allow them to fill flasks with brandy before heading back to the troops.
Mill Stones
Three Mill Stones, used on the property in 1892. Two of the three are used for the sidewalk entrances to the main house, and the entrance to the guest cottage. The third mill stone is said to be buried somewhere in the property yard.
English Basement
The English Basement at one time was used as a one room library and school room. Today the original hand hewn beams still adorn the room.
1930-1931 Drought
In 1930-1931 the region experienced a major drought where many wells, springs, etc. went dry. Dunleith spring fed well stood strong and is still flowing strong today. The story goes that the owners allowed anyone in need of water to fill up barrels, buckets, and wagons, to keep the area farm land animals and families from total destruction.
Pamplin Clay Pipes
Several clay pipe heads, known as Pamplin Clay Pipes, have been found on the property of Dunleith during different property projects. The found pipes are shown as a collection in the formal parlor of Dunleith where the current owners, Ralph & Karen Mulleins, have created a museum to house the antiquities found on the property.
Imported Ornate English Bricks
During outdoor projects, several very ornate English bricks have been discovered.
Dunleith Silver in a locked box Legend
Information began to spread quickly about troops of the Civil War heading towards Amelia, Sailors Creek, High Bridge, Farmville, Cumberland Church, etc. Talk of farms possibly being destroyed and foraged by soldiers brought fear to the area. During this time, it was said the wealthy placed Silver and valuables in a special locked box and hid it at the base of an old oak tree with special shaped branches that forked North and South to keep the valuables away from soldiers.
To the knowledge of many local families, the locked box has never been discovered. Even though the story could be a rumor or legend, we do know when excavation began for the pond that resides on Dunleith to this day, several locals brought chairs and watched patiently to see if the legendary box was revealed.

American Southwest (#06): Marble & Redstone, Colorado
The Marble Capital of the United States ... was initially settled by prospectors who formed a camp known as Yule Creek, named for pioneer George Yule. Gold, silver, and lead were mined from 1880 into the 1890s. Even before the prospectors found their deposits, geologist Sylvester Richardson had noted in 1873 the beds of marble in Whitehouse Mountain. The marble was merely a curiosity then, because it was on the Ute Reservation. After the Utes were moved west to allow prospectors in, attempts to quarry the stone in the 1880s enjoyed limited profitability because of the area's remoteness from a railhead.
The standard-gauge Crystal River & San Juan Railroad was completed from Carbondale in 1906, connecting the finishing mill at Marble with the Denver & Rio Grande branch line to Aspen. That rail link, combined with a four-mile-long electric railway that transported marble from the quarry to the huge finishing mill, made production much more lucrative. The first large order, for a Cleveland courthouse, invigorated the community. The best years followed, peaking from 1912 to 1917. The town was, literally, made by and of marble. Entire buildings were constructed of it, as were foundations and even sidewalks.
The town of Marble had its share of setbacks. A fire in 1916 destroyed much of downtown. Avalanches buried the finishing mill and the railroad tracks. Financial problems forced the closure of the quarry in 1941, as consumers began to order veneers instead of blocks or to choose cheaper marble substitutes. Mudslides in that year took large portions of the business section. Machinery, rails, even metal window frames were salvaged for scrap during World War II. Its glory days apparently over, Marble became a town of pleasant summer cabins.
Redstone ... named for its sandstone cliffs, Redstone came to life because of vast coal deposits found in 1884 by John Cleveland Osgood. He and other investors founded the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, which became an industry giant. Their mines at Coal Basin, four miles west of Redstone, produced more than a million tons of coal. Osgood was a different brand of capitalist. Instead of taking advantage of underpaid workers, he did quite the opposite, creating Redstone as a model company town with practically utopian conditions. Married men and their families lived in eighty-four Swiss-chalet-style cottages, no two alike. Each two-to-five-room cottage, landscaped with lawns and gardens, had the then-unheard of luxury of electricity and running water. Bachelors lived in a forty-room lodge, now the respected Redstone Inn. Its clubhouse was open to all employees and featured a library and theater, where the company provided drama productions, lectures, and concerts.
Trust, Providence, Pilgrims, Native Americans, US & The Free Mind
Connie Baxter Marlow and Andrew Cameron Bailey look at the evolution of the free mind and the role the Mayflower Pilgrims, the Native Americans, The American Dream and a trust/Providence/Creator-based paradigm have played historically as we take a leap forward into alignment with Universal Law and bring Peace on/with Earth. Carbondale, Colorado 12.17.19
Now in 2020 - the 400th anniversary of the landing of The Mayflower and the First Great Synthesis between Europeans and the American Indian - we have the opportunity to look at American history through a new lens - the role of the US of A in the evolutionary upward spiral of human consciousness. Yes the US of America. All of US and the role we are going to play in realizing the original vision of the human potential to bring liberty, justice, equality and abundance for all: The True American Dream!
Synthesis: A New Perspective
An extraordinary exception to the human condition unfolded when the visionary leaders of two radically different cultures met and worked together to maintain an inter-cultural exchange that became the First Great Synthesis” between Europeans and American Indians during the first fifty-four years at Plymouth Plantation. This melding gave birth to American democracy and to the American mind and spirit. The Second Great Synthesis” occurred when aspects of The Great Law of the Iroquois were integrated into the United States Constitution in 1787. A third synthesis is possible as our cultures come together again to realize the great promise America made to the world in its freedom documents The Mayflower Compact, The Declaration of Independence and The U.S. Constitution.
This talk includes the 25-minute film SEEDS OF FREEDOM: A Vision for America Liberty! Justice! Equality! A new perspective presents a revolutionary look at the syntheses between European colonists and the American Indian in the evolution of the American democracy, mind and spirit.
Connie Baxter Marlow is a descendant of Mayflower Pilgrims John Alden and Priscilla Mullins who are known as America's First Couple. Her great-great-grandfather James Phinney Baxter, a pre-eminent historian of early New England, was President of the New England Historical Genealogical Society for 20 years. When Baxter died in 1921 he left money to the City of Boston to build a “New England Pantheon” to honor “the early settlers of New England whose principles and ideals were the seed of free government.” The Pantheon was never built. The Trust was broken, and the money was committed to the Boston Public Library, which invited Marlow and Bailey premiere their film “SEEDS OF FREEDOM: A Vision for America” in the fall of 2016, to inaugurate the library's Baxter Lecture Series. Connie brings a unique perspective to her ancestors’ dreams for humanity, in that she has spent 30 years in close association with visionary Native American elders throughout the United States and Mexico, and has been creating forums for them to share their understanding of the nature of the Universe for over 20 years in books, films, lectures and photographic exhibitions.
Andrew Cameron Bailey calls himself a latter-day pilgrim. He sailed across the Atlantic and arrived in America on Thanksgiving Day, 1969. He was born in England and grew up in South Africa amongst the Zulus, holds degrees in science, English and social anthropology, and was a chemistry professor before emigrating to the United States. Andrew is the author of the 21st Century historical mystery novel/screenplay “The Mayflower Revelations,” that reveals the 54-year intercultural friendship in an entertaining, enlightening and inspiring way. The novel includes Andrew’s breakthrough discoveries concerning the forgotten Tarratines War (1607-1619) and the accompanying pandemic that decimated the New England indigenous population between the years 1616 and 1618, a few short years before the Mayflower arrived at Cape Cod. The information and perspective in the novel will change our view of New England history forever.
They are authors, filmmakers, futurists and inventors who share an uplifting vision of the future of humanity. Their book “THE TRUST FREQUENCY: Ten Assumptions for a New Paradigm” and film “IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE: What do the Wise Ones Know?” bring together indigenous cosmology, quantum science and Eastern and Western mysticism to present tools for living in alignment with the true American dream: liberty, justice and abundance for all. They have produced a 5-part film series “THE AMERICAN EVOLUTION: Voices of America” which features Henry David Thoreau, a Thoreau Scholar, Penobscot Tribal Elders, a Muslim Imam, Mt. Katahdin and others. Their Climate Restoration Project includes inventions to restore Earth’s climate to its pre-industrial state.

Brother, Can You Spare A Billion? The Story of Jesse H. Jones Six of Six
Brother, Can You Spare A Billion? The Story of Jesse H. Jones
He shaped a major American city in his own image. He laid the groundwork for the modern Red Cross. In the 1930s, he was one of the most powerful figures in world finance. In the early 1940s, he prepared America for war. And today, few people remember his name. He was Jesse H. Jones, and without him American capitalism might have been lost in the depths of the Great Depression.
This multi-award winning one-hour documentary is a vivid portrait of the Houston businessman who, as Franklin D. Roosevelt's fiscal right hand, was a critical force in creating the America we know today. Narrated by Walter Cronkite, Brother, Can You Spare A Billion? The Story of Jesse H. Jones, features a dynamic mix of historical film footage, information uncovered in the Jones archives and interviews with John Kenneth Galbraith, John Morton Blum and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Directed by Boston filmmaker Eric Stange and co-written with executive producer Steven Fenberg.
