The oldest room in the Botetourt County Historical Museum is the law office of General James Breckinridge (1763-1833). This close up of Edward Beyer’s 1855 painting depicts his Breckinridge home, Grove Hill. It was built in 1804 and burned in 1909. The General James Breckinridge Chapter of the DAR donated this reproduction to Botetourt Historical Society. The DAR loaned the original to the History Museum of Western Virginia.
