In the December 2009 issue of Virginia Living, you ll find the glorious antebellum Oak Ridge estate as well as the humble, centuries-old log cabins of Rockbridge County whose residents might well have enjoyed the persimmon, another issue highlight. We examine how West Virginia came to be, and we unravel how a Mariners Museum archivist stole myriad bits of history. There s a serious dose of the 21st century too, with a wild ride through dynamic Fairfax. Also inside: nutty sweets for the nutty season, an antiques expert and a polo phenom, chocolate, Todd Jurich s Bistro in Norfolk, a trek in the Peru highlands, Colonial Williamsburg Christmas trimming stats, and much more.
