[edit]

There are some stunning photographs of the ruins of Rosewell, particularly in black-and-white. It would be great to have such a photo to accompany this piece. Thanks in advance, MarmadukePercy (talk) 07:33, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jefferson and Declaration of Independence

[edit]

I visited the ruins today and inquired about the Jefferson story. The curator said that, while Jefferson and Page were close friends - and Jefferson DID visit Rosewell on many occasions - the story about the draft of the Declaration having been written there is just legend. Since then I have tried to find a source online that verifies this information and I can find none. If someone can verify, please do. Wikipelli Talk 00:09, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
