Description
Tolani E obert and Maxine Walker lived and worked for 35 years in downtown Washington, D.C. near the White House, where they enjoyed the graceful dignity of American freedom that is captured in our Nation’s capital with its monuments, museums, and memorials. They also benefited greatly from the fine arts and cultural opportunities as well as the city’s wonderful restaurants and theaters, all located near their row house in Foggy Bottom on the campus of George Washington University. After raising their two daughters, the Walkers realized it was time for a change and pursued their dream of living in the country. It did not take long to find Harwood Farm as they had passed the property for many years while on weekend visits to relatives who lived nearby on a cattle farm. The Walkers purchased Harwood in 1994 and since that time, they have made many significant restorations to the property while maintaining its historic natural beauty and its agricultural heritage.
