Oatlands

This recipe comes from historic Oatlands Plantation, a Greek Revival mansion built in 1804 by George Carter, great-grandson of colonial Virginia’s legendary Robert “King” Carter. Mary Carter married George’s grandson and made this gingerbread in the 1880s. Oatlands today is a museum-home of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, attracting thousands of visitors annually to view its buildings and four-acre formal garden.
