[Abandoned Places Photography] Dunnington Mansion, Farmville

More details to come, but here's some basic info in the meantime.

• [Optional] Carpool from the Target Parking lot in Westchester Commons
• This is a 200 year old abandoned manor house with a very interesting story, which you can read here.
• Buy your ticket(s) here. You MUST buy your ticket(s) from the EventBrite app in order to attend this event.
• Tour is hosted by John Plashal, local photographer and abandoned places historian
• The Hiking + Photography group is not hosting or facilitating this event. I am only arranging the carpool, and inviting my group members to join us for this very interesting photo opportunity.
• This is a wonderful opportunity to capture this historic mansion which is in a sad but beautiful state of disrepair. All proceeds go to the Dunnington Mansion Foundation, which is dedicated to its restoration.
• Photos of this estate can be found here, to give you an idea of what is in store.
• The lighting at this time of day will give us long shadows and a nice golden hour glow during the last half hour of our visit.
• Read the description of the event for details about what to bring and what to wear.
• If you opt to go with the carpool, arrive at the parking lot no later than 1:35 and we will leave promptly at 1:45. The drive time is 1 hour 6 minutes and the tour starts at 3:00pm.
• Drones are welcome, as long as you are respectful of other attendees and know the rules. Please have your TRUST license or Part 107 certificate with you at all times when flying your drone.

The carpool starts and ends in the Target Parking Lot in Westchester Commons. This is totally optional -- please post in the comments if you will be joining the carpool. Otherwise feel free to drive directly to the event, as there is plenty of parking available. The drive is a little over an hour each way from the Target, so it will be nice to have company on the drive there and back.

If you're going directly, you can get directions from your location via Google Maps.

If you're carpooling, we will meet in this exact spot at the back of the Target parking lot.
