Our History
Celebrating over 125 years of service to the community, Beverley Manor Chapter, NSDAR, was organized in 1893 by Mrs. Margaret Brisco Stuart Robertson in Staunton, Virginia.
Behind the Name
The name Beverley Manor was chosen in honor of William Beverley. On September 6, 1736, a grant for over one hundred thousand acres of land was made by Colonial Governor Gooch in the name of his Majesty King George II of England to Mr. Beverley. This property comprised the upper Shenandoah Valley, including much of modern-day Augusta County and the city of Staunton. Beverley's son, Robert, built the mansion at Blandfield between 1769 and 1773. The property was owned by the Beverley family from 1683 until its 1983 sale.
