History of Linton Hall
The name "Linton Hall" comes from the Linton Hall School. This school was started by Benedictine nuns. It was built on land that used to be a large farm called Linton's Ford Plantation.
From Plantation to School
The land for the school was inherited by Sister Mary Baptista. She was the daughter of John Linton, who owned the plantation. When Sister Mary Baptista passed away, the land went to the Benedictine order. They wanted to use it to educate children who didn't have much money. The Benedictine monastery is still a part of the school today.
Growth and Development
Over the past 100 years, the Benedictine nuns sold most of the school's land. They mainly sold it to companies that build homes. This led to the creation of the Braemar subdivision. Braemar is a group of fancy housing areas with a big neighborhood association.
The Linton Family Cemetery
There is an old family cemetery for the Linton family inside the Braemar neighborhood. In 2006, experts checked the site to see if it could be fixed up. The nuns at Linton Hall wanted to keep owning the cemetery. However, many land records were lost during the Civil War. This happened when the Brentsville Courthouse burned down. Because of this, no one officially owns the cemetery today.
