Willa Cather Birthplace
The Willa Cather Birthplace, also known as the Rachel E. Boak House, is the site near Gore, Frederick County, Virginia, where the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Willa Cather was born in 1873.

Cather and her parents lived in the house only about a year before they moved to another home in Frederick County.
