A traditional thanksgiving at Virginia's historic Half Way House

Article Abstract:

Rick and Sue Young discovered the historic restaurant in the 1980s and decided to add American history as an avocation in addition to their love of model planes and gliders. There is only one minor change to the restaurant built in 1760 and that is the back porch which serves as the main entrance.
