Here in Virginia work has started on conserving the Martin Kauffman Jr. "Whitehouse" residence.  While the work may not be completed by the time the SAGA 2026 meeting occurs it might be useful to investigate if the whitehouse farm foundataion would be able to do a presentation on the conservation efforts and include some of the history that they intend to highlight in future tours. https://www.whsv.com/2025/08/12/historic-white-house-page-county-under-rehabilitation/https://www.whfarmfoundation.org/ During your visit to the area you might consider staying at the Lincoln hometead at https://lincolnhomesteadva.com/  .    Then just across the way drive by the Coffman Mannheim house https://www.rootsrundeep.org/mannheim-plantation.html  or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannheim_(Linville,_Virginia)   It would interesting to see if  private group tours of these residences could be arranged....
