York Hill, near Shenandoah Junction, West Virginia is a historic property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original log portion of the house was built in the late 1760s by Colonel James Hendricks on a 360-acre (150 ha) tract previously conveyed by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron to Samuel Darke in 1754. From 1796 to 1939 the property was owned by the Snyder family. A limestone addition to the house and other buildings were built between 1802 and 1825, including an 1812 bank barn.

“Rome, like Washington, is small enough, quiet enough, for strong personal intimacies; Rome, like Washington, has its democratic court and its entourage of diplomatic circle; Rome, like Washington, gives you plenty of time and plenty of sunlight. In New York we have annihilated both.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Tawny are the leaves turned, but they still hold.
It is the harvest; what shall this land produce?
A meager hill of kernels, a runnel of juice.
Declension looks from our land, it is old.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
