Enjoy views of the James River at this historic plantation.
The Westover Plantation offers a beautiful view of the James River and is home to tulip poplar trees that are over 150 years old. This plantation was built in 1730 and features Georgian-style architecture. It was designed by William Byrd II, founder of Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia. The Westover Plantation is known for the finest 18th-century iron gates in this country. Self-guided grounds tours include a walled garden, original dependencies, the original site of the Charles City Courthouse, and the Westover Parish Church and graveyard. Visitors can explore the grounds and beautiful formal gardens and see the old outbuildings, which can be toured daily.
The main house is also open for tours during Westover Church's Autumn Pilgrimage and Sunday through Tuesday during Historic Garden Week. Tours of the home's interior may be scheduled via phone or email. The grounds and Garden Fee is $5, and interior house tours are $25. If you're planning to visit Virginia, add this National Historic Landmark to your itinerary.
