Lansdowne (Fredericksburg, Virginia)

Lansdowne, also known as Retreat Farm and Backus House, is a historic home located near Fredericksburg, in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The property is very near the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. The original section was built about 1755, and enlarged in the early-19th century and in 1950. It is a 1 1/2-story, three-bay, side gable-roofed, double-pile, wood-framed dwelling. It features tall exterior chimneys. Also on the property are the contributing board-and-batten, side-gabled frame bank barn (1920s), a cinderblock spring house and cinderblock pumphouse with an early pump (c. 1950), the remnants of a mid-19th century historic formal landscape including terracing, and an historic road trace.

    The biggest part of the district is located in the Swabian-Franconian Forest (Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald), of which the Mainhardt Forest forms a part. The two rivers Rems and Murr gave the district its name.

    Murr (river)

    The  Murr  is a river in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, right tributary of the Neckar. The river gave its name to a small town on its banks, Murr, and to the Rems-Murr-Kreis district, which was also named after the river Rems, which runs roughly parallel to the south of the Murr.

    Its source is approx. 4 km south of Murrhardt. It flows northeast before turning west to cross Murrhardt. After a further 7km, Sulzbach an der Murr is reached. Here, at its northernmost point, the Lauter joins from the north, coming from Spiegelberg. The Murr continues southwest, passing Oppenweiler to reach Backnang, where its narrow valley widens. Further towns on its way are Burgstall an der Murr, Kirchberg an der Murr, Steinheim an der Murr, and the community of Murr itself, which is located in the district of Ludwigsburg.

    North of Marbach am Neckar, the Murr joins the Neckar after having travelled about 50km in total.

    The Murr runs south of the de:Löwensteiner Berge hills. A large part of the river is situated in the Swabian-Franconian Forest, after which the eponymous nature park was named.
