Hull Springs Farm, Longwood University

Mary Farley Ames Lee, a 1938 Longwood graduate, bequeathed to the University Hull Springs Farm, a 662 acre site in Westmoreland County that is situated between two tributaries to the Potomac River and just a short distance from the Chesapeake Bay.

The property has approximately 8400 feet of shoreline along Glebe and Aimes Creeks.
