The
Sidna Allen House |
In
1911 J. Sidna Allen and his wife, Bettie moved
into the house which he had described as "the
culmination of our dreams". One year later,
Mr. Allen, who was one of the wealthiest men
in the county, was involved in the shoot-out
at the Carroll County Courthouse in Hillsville,Virginia.
The eight-room Queen Anne style house is unique
to the County in it's architecture and distinctive
features, which included detailed woodworking,
iron crestings, corbeled chimneys and a slate
roof. The house and lands were taken by the
State of Virginia and sold at auction after
the Courthouse Tragedy. In 1926, Mr. Allen was
pardoned by the Governor, but he and his family
never returned to this beautiful house.

Levering
Orchard
(Hand
Pick Your Own Fruit)
|
Levering
Orchard was founded in 1908 by Ralph Levering.
Legend has it that he grew tired of having to
stoop for a living. He wanted to reach for the
sky as he picked his fruit.
Levering
Orchard was primarily an apple orchard until
the 1970s when Sam Levering had a major insight
-- the several cherry trees planted near his
and Miriam's home drew flocks of pick-your-own
customers just as surely as the multitudes of
hungry birds. There were never enough cherries
to meet demand. Today
Levering Orchard's primary crop is cherries.
