Winton Country Club, constructed in 1769, was the home of Sarah Winston Syme Henry, mother of patriot Patrick Henry. Legend has it that when Patrick Henry visited during the American Revolution, he had to secrete himself from the enemy in a pile of hay here. Rumors also say that Sarah Henry still lingers here, although she died Christmas Day 1784. Folks have felt her presence and heard her footsteps and the rustling of her petticoats.
