Where Their Story Actually Began: A White Hall Love Story
Every once in a while, someone tells us a story about White Hall that reminds us just how many lives have crossed this property over the years.
This is one of our favorites!
A few years ago, a couple came to White Hall looking for a place to get married. They toured the property, walked through the barns and around the grounds, and eventually decided that White Hall was where they wanted to have their wedding.
At the time, they had no idea just how much White Hall was already a part of their family story.
After booking with us, they came back and took lots of photographs of the property. The house, the barns, the grounds, the inside of the old Dairy Barn, all the places they were excited to share with their family.
They sent some of those pictures to relatives who had once lived in this area but had since moved away.
Then came the question:
**“Is that White Hall in King George?”**
It was.
And that is when they learned the story.
Back in the mid-1900s, White Hall was a working dairy farm owned by the Slusher family. Cows were milked here, milk was processed and bottled, orders were taken, deliveries came and went, and the farm was a busy working operation.
The bride’s grandmother had worked here as a young woman in the dairy office.
She helped take and fill orders and handled some of the everyday business of the dairy.
And then there was a young delivery driver.
He apparently took quite a shine to the young woman working in the office!
Before long, whenever there was a delivery that needed to be made to White Hall, somehow this particular young man seemed very willing to make the trip.
Funny how that happens.
Those deliveries led to conversations. The conversations led to courtship. And. eventually, the two young people who first met here at White Hall got engaged and then were married.
Then - They had children. Their children had children.
And decades later, one of those grandchildren walked onto White Hall with the man she loved and independently chose this property as the place where they would begin their own married life!
She had no idea that her grandparents' love story had begun on the very same ground.
Think about that!
Had that young woman not been working at the White Hall dairy, and had that young delivery driver not kept finding reasons to come here, their granddaughter might never have existed!
Yet decades later, without knowing any of it, she found her way back to White Hall to be married.
Of all the places she could have chosen!
That one gets us every time!
We spend a lot of time researching White Hall through old deeds, wills, court records, maps, military records, and family histories. Those things are important, and we love discovering them.
But stories like this remind us that history is not only found in documents.
Sometimes history is a young woman answering orders in a dairy office. Sometimes it is a young man volunteering for another delivery because he hopes she will be there. Sometimes it is two people falling in love.
But it blows us away that two generations later, their granddaughter unknowingly comes back to the very place where it all began!
White Hall has been a gathering place for a very long time, indeed!
People have worked here, lived here, celebrated here, fallen in love here, and even more have gotten Married here!! A few raised families here, and carried memories of this place with them long after they left. We've looked at some of the stories of those who were born here and then gone off to do amazing things in the world!
Every now and then, one of those stories comes home.
To the couple connected to this story, you know who you are! We didn't want to share your names without permission, but if you happen to see this and are comfortable doing so, we would absolutely LOVE for you to comment!
And if you have a wedding photo of the two of you here at White Hall, or an old photograph of your grandparents, we would be honored if you shared them with everyone. What a wonderful way to bring this story full circle! And, if I misremembered any of the details incorrectly, feel free to correct them here too! (:
And for everyone else, if you or your family have a memory, photograph, document, keepsake, or story connected to White Hall, please share it with us.
There are nearly three centuries of stories connected to this old place!
We know we haven't found them all yet!
With much love!
