Camelot, in all its glory and splendor, exists in Spotsylvania County on River Road complete with King Arthur and his beautiful Lady Guinivere. When traveling to this magical kingdom filled with pure fun, fantasy and positive energy, one may think you have lost your way until, just when you are ready to give up, to the left is an opening that leads to a picturesque, eye-dazzling view. Built originally as a copy of George Wythe’s house, the initial view of the elegant and detailed design is a colonial brick estate with no modern amenities. On the grounds is a rhododendron said to be the largest on the east coast. Measuring 60 feet in circumference and 20 feet tall, many couples are photographed inside it or in the formal garden by two apple trees named Adam and Eve.
The property, known as Eden Try because of the attempt to duplicate the Garden of Eden itself, is owned and operated by Gary Gratopp and Linda Morrison. They lease their property as a wedding venue complete with natural amphitheater, a tiered rose garden, and a large tented front lawn (with flags atop, as if a medieval fair) that can seat two hundred guests. From a list of preferred caterers, a feast of any size and magnitude can be arranged.
