 The history of Lurman Woodland Theatre is as rich and varied as the entertainment it provides each year. "Farmlands" was a name given to this area in the late 1700’s by Edward Dorsey. The original tract being some 2, 000+ acres, was later given to his son, Hammond, as a wedding gift. Hammond and his wife built a mansion upon the site. In 1820 the house with six hundred acres was sold to Henry Sommerville, who renamed it "Bloomsbury Farm". |
