Near here in Santillane, one of Botetourt County’s most distinguished properties. The Greek Revival house sits on a tract of land originally owned by Colonel George Hancock, a member of the United States Congress from 1793-1797. In 1808 Hancock’s daughter, Judith, married General William Clark. Clark served from 1803 to 1806 as a leader of Thomas Jefferson’s famous Lewis and Clark expedition which was instrumental in opening the west for American settlement. Dept of Historic Resources 1990

The photo shown is actually of Santillane Farms, which is located on the Property once owned by George Hancock. The actual Santillane home is located a short distance away and is currently a bed and breakfast.
