Locust Grove, Historic mansion in Buckingham County, United States
The Georgian mansion features traditional architectural elements with symmetrical design, detailed woodwork, and period-appropriate construction techniques from the late 18th century.
William and Lucy Clark Croghan constructed Locust Grove in 1794, establishing a substantial estate that would later become a Virginia Historic Landmark.
