Album Info:
Finished in 1840, it was the home of agriculturist and secessionist Edmund Ruffin. It's name comes from Ruffin's use of marl in preparing his fields. During his time the plantation was an agricultural showplace. Edmund Ruffin has long been given credit for firing the first shot of the Civil War. Marlbourne suffered heavily during the conflict. Family letters speak of the desolation. Ruffin swore he would never live under Union rule. In 1865 he took his own life and is buried on the property.
