We should know and appreciate the things that Mrs. Mellon and her family have done, most of which they chose to keep "behind the scenes." What I wouldn't do to see the library in Upperville!

Some of my friends and clients have personally toured her estate in Upperville. One of them said Mrs. Mellon had her butler bring down lunch with wine in a vintage French wicker basket for the researchers in the garden library.
