Tackley Farm, also known as Valley View, is a Greek Revival farmhouse near Shenandoah Junction, West Virginia. The property was leased by Michael Blue in 1777 from Colonel William Tackley, Blue's former commanding officer in the service of John Armstrong during the French and Indian Wars, and purchased from Tackley's son, Thomas, in 1795. In 1840, Michael Blue's son Joel built the present house. [2]
The house closely resembles Belvedere, near Charles Town.
