We visited the Gari Melchers estate Belvoir in Falmouth, VA a few years ago. Amazing site! You can see his studio and his gallery space, both filled with his beautiful paintings! And you can tour his home as well as walk about the estate gardens. If you ever get the chance to visit, you won't regret it!!
