The Ruins of the James Barbour Mansion in Barboursville are a Virginia Historic Landmark. It is the remains of the mansion owned by Governor James Barbour designed by Thomas Jefferson, ruined by fire on Christmas Day, 1884. A large lawn bordered by 200-year-old American boxwood surrounds the ruins. This area is where the annual Shakespeare at the Ruins plays are staged. Rental of this area is dependent on the nature of the event.

PERSONAL NOTE: I found this while surfing on the net. It appears that the spelling of Barber was sometimes spelled Barbour. When I saw this photo, I was really amazed to see how much this man resembled my grandfather, William Brywood Barber. However, I am not sure that this is one of the Barber Ancestors of Eastern Carolina. A great many people did settle first in Virginia and then on into Eastern North Carolina.
