Welbourne was the home of Col. Richard Henry Dulany, C.S.A., the great-great-grandfather of the current innkeeper. Col. Dulany founded the nation’s oldest foxhunting club, The Piedmont Hunt, in 1840, and the oldest horse show, the Upperville Colt and Horse Show, in 1853. Visitors during the Civil War included Jeb Stuart and John S. Mosby. In the 1930’s F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe stayed at Welbourne. Both writers published stories using the house as the setting. |
