Albert Gallatin build a mansion near Morgantown, WV.
Who was Albert? Well, he was a the longest-serving United States Secretary of the Treasury; founded the New York University and arranged maps and finance for the Lewis and Clarke expedition. He also helped balanced the US budget, which meant the USA could afford the Louisiana Purchase.
His house is amazing- acres of manicured lawns and a beautiful old house up on a hill.
The house and grounds are open to the public nearly 365 days a year. There are deer that wonder around the grounds- very nice in the snow.
On the way back, stop at Apple Annie's for PIE!!!
