Avenel, the stately mansion and its
landscape, has for over one hundred and fifty years been a centerpiece
in the social, cultural, and political life of Bedford. Built
circa 1838 by William M. Burwell and his wife, Frances Steptoe
Burwell, Avenel is listed in the National Register of Historic
Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. The building is being
renovated as an attractive, convenient, spacious place for business
meetings or other events. For more information, contact
