"Middleburg Mystique" reveals the charms, gossip, and scandals of this small well-to-do village, and the surrounding swath of horse farms just 50 miles west of Washington, D.C. It tells of scandalous divorces (like actor Robert Duvall’s wife running off with the poolman) and racy murders (like arms heiress Susan Cummings shooting her Argentinean polo-playing lover). Middleburg has captivated the Kennedys, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Wagner, and Oliver North. It has gossiped about misdeeds, then turned around and protected both rich and lowly as if they were all family. "Middleburg Mystique" also provides an insider’s peek behind the grand stone entrances of massive estates with names such as "The Meadows" or "Heathfield" that belong to families such as the Firestones, Mellons, and Marriotts.

Banniere Original artwork by Lydia Marie Elizabeth Lydia grew up with paint brushes and pencils in her hand. Throughout her education she studied fine art and design, honing her attention to detail in architecture and interiors. While Lydia was raised in Loudoun County, some of her most treasured memories occurred on the streets of the town and in the hills beyond. In Lydia’s eyes, no town can hold a candle to Middleburg. This scarf is an ode to the beautiful Middleburg Christmas Hunt, the sly fox that will always elude it, and the traditions of American small towns. Protect your Banniere Scarf by storing it folded in your traveling blue envelope. Keep it untied and in a dry area. Dry clean when needed.

Middleburg was established in 1787 by Leven Powell, one of Virginia's founding fathers. Following a long decline after the Civil War, the arrival of foxhunting in 1904 gave the town an international reputation for breeding, showing, and racing Thoroughbred horses. Over the ensuing decades, Middleburg would undertake significant historic preservation, but the town would also be remarkable for its laissez-faire attitude toward the rich and famous. Movie stars and presidents were seduced not only by Middleburg's horses, hounds, and history, but also by its respect for the privacy of its more renowned residents and visitors. In Middleburg, photographs from the collections of local residents Howard Allen and Tyler Gore as well as from the National Sporting Library, the Library of Congress, and other sources were chosen to reflect the character and charm of this historic village.

"Middleburg (Virginia) between the two world wars was, in many ways, a different world—a world that ended abruptly when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor." Thus begin these reminiscences by the author, Catherine Hulbert Harts, born in 1921, of her childhood growing up at "Stonehedge" just outside of Middleburg, Virginia, between 1921 and the beginning of WWII. It is rich with recollections of horses, foxhunting, parties, and local personalities. She brings to life, once again, the world of money and privilege that revolved around horses and ponies, in a culture defined by pedigree, manners and attire. These delightfully warm and engaging vignettes provide a marvelous and vivid glimpse of the way life was back then, both in the village of Middleburg and on the country estate where the author and her family lived. Set aside your modern conveniences, fix a cup of tea, and step back in time for a glimpse of "the way it was."
