Colonial Settlement Brent Family George Brent’s Home “woodstock” Archaeological Site

George Brent’s Home “woodstock” Archaeological Site

George Brent’s home “Woodstock” was located a stone’s throw from the Brent Cemetery near Route 1 and the Crucifix.  Now it is an archaeological site, that discloses the fireplace hearth.  Due its location close to a marsh and mosquitoes, George Brent and his family rebuilt/relocated “Woodstock” on the hill located in today’s Aquia Harbour.  His home graced the area that is now called Aquia Harbour’s Country Club.   (Northern Virginia Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Virginia – NVC/ASV).
