Lucky Hit is one of the oldest brick houses in southwestern Clarke County, Virginia. The double-pile, central hallway house was built by Colonel Richard Kidder Meade around 1791, and was named by Meade in his belief that he had made a fortunate choice in his property. The property stayed in the Meade family until 1869.
