Lark flight path to feature historic stopovers…
The October 2010 Lark Through Clarke Stable Tour and More includes a visit to historic Long Branch House and Farm — famed for its annual balloon festival. Sorry, this is a self driven car tour, so no balloon rides, at least not at this event! But several “dog and pony” shows will be featured. The Long Branch Therapeutic Riding Center will be holding several exhibits. Also, not to be missed is a beagle demonstration at one of several other beautiful estates on the Lark’s flight path.
Gourmet box lunches will be available for purchase at nearby Locke Store in Millwood where “Eating is an agricultural act!” Or bring your own sandwiches and refreshments. Picnic tables are just a hop, skip and a jump away, in a lovely setting behind the Old Mill, also a part of the tour.
The Burwell-Morgan Mill , established in 1785, will be hosting its annual Art Show, which will be open to the public during the Lark through Clarke Stable Tour.
The starting point of the tour will be at Christ Church, 809 Bishop Meade Road (Route 255), directly across from the Carter Hall manor house (now headquarters of Project Hope) and just up the hill from the Locke Store in the village of Millwood. Proceeds of A Lark Through Clarke Stable Tour will go to the benefit of the ministry of Cunningham Chapel Parish.

Hark! A Lark Cometh to Clarke County VA
This year marked the 50th anniversary of the famed Hunt Country Stable Tour, hosted by Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, Virginia.
