Endview Plantation

Take a tour of this plantation and discover the exhibits, Civil War reenactments, and special events held here.

Endview Plantation is a significant historical site in Virginia. The home was built in 1769 for William Harwood. His great-grandson, Dr. Humphrey Harwood Curtis, acquired the plantation in 1858. Curtis organized Warwick Beauregard's company called H. 32nd Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment in May 1861. He commanded the soldiers until May 1862. The plantation was used as headquarters by Confederate Generals Lafayette McLaws and Robert Tombs during the beginning stages of the 1862 Peninsula campaign.

Union regiments also camped around Endview as part of the Federal occupation of nearby Yorkton. Dr. Curtis regained possession of Endview after the Civil War, and his descendants continued to live here until 1985. Endview (also called Curtis Farm) provides tours of the plantation. Many living history events are held here annually as well. You can come here during Civil War reenactments, Lumber Jack campouts, Medieval Festivals, or the Fall Harvest Faire. Plantation tours are held from Thursday through Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm.
