Fun Run and Tour of Berkeley Plantation

 

Join us on Saturday September 5th, for the Williamsburg breakfast at Victoria's, followed by an Ed Merry designed Fun Run to the historic Berkeley Plantation, where we will get a tour of the house.

We will meet at Victoria's Restaurant (Williamsburg Crossing Shopping Center, Corner of Rt. 5 and 199, 5269 John Tyler Highway, Williamsburg (757) 253-2233) at 9AM on Saturday September 5th for our usual first Saturday of the month Williamsburg Breakfast.  If you have never attended the Williamsburg breakfast, this is your chance to meet fellow FSR members from Williamsburg and see what they are driving.  If you are coming from the Southside or Richmond and 9:00 AM is a bit early for you, please meet us at Victoria's at 10:15 AM to kick tires and meet everyone for the driver's meeting.  We'll then head out for a 90 minute Fun Run ending at the historic Berkeley Plantation on Route 5 in Charles City Co (12602 Harrison Landing Road, Charles City, VA  23030 (804) 829-6018).

Breakfast at Victoria's will be pay as you go.

There is a $10 charge for the tour of Berkeley Plantation which will be collected online via Motorsport Registration.  You will only be charged if you attend the event.  If you want to only do the house tour at 12:15, that's okay too.  Just meet us there. 

Berkeley Plantation was the site of the first official Thanksgiving in 1619.  Berkeley was also the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and President William Henry Harrison, our ninth President.  The mansion is furnished with a magnificent collection of 18th century antiques and artifacts.  The admission also includes self guided tours of the grounds and gardens.
