Watch The Welcome Guest of Avenel

A movie made in 2003 during the filming of Portrait of a Plantation. This light-hearted look at reenacting takes us to the Avenel house in the year 2015 to a reenactment of the Civil War era. At this event, the reenactors meet the ghost of General Robert E. Lee (who stayed at the home in real life in 1867) instead of the White Lady ghost, Letitia Burwell (who was photographed in real life on November 1, 2003, and whose photo can be seen in the movie Portrait of a Plantation (the 2009 release) from Amazon.com. Lee's ghost in the movie is so solid that they think he is a reenactor, like they are! The whole story of all of these films is found on the Making of the Avenel Project from Amazon.com.
