For the third year in a row, Historic Germanna is excited to invite the public to visit Salubria, an 18th century Georgian-style plantation house, through summer open visiting hours. Due to the popularity of our past two summers, this year we have expanded our visiting hours to include select Saturdays.
Starting Thursday, May 28, Historic Salubria be open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays, and select Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The Saturdays that Salubria will be open are only: June 13, June 27, July 11, July 25, August 8, August 22, and September 5. Guests can explore at their leisure during these hours or call ahead to arrange guided tours. The last day of open hours will be Saturday September 5.
Please note that Salubria will be closed on Juneteenth, Friday June 19. Additionally, Salubria will also be closed for Historic Germanna’s Annual Conference and Reunion on Thursday July 16 and Friday July 17.
Knowledgeable Historic Germanna staff will be on site to provide insights, answer questions, and lead guided tours of both the house and grounds, revealing the fascinating history of the site and its former inhabitants.
Constructed in 1757, Salubria stands as a preserved, not restored, house showcasing original wood paneling – an exceptional example of 18th century craftsmanship. Its raw, unfurnished state offers visitors a rare glimpse into the past. Learn about all the people who lived and shaped this landscape for over 200 years.
