1735 Historical Home of Richard Taliaferro "Our Most Skillful Architect" of the Colonial Era.
The plantation is called after the local American Indian tribe’s great ancestral Chief Powhatan, father of Pocahontas. The land became part of a land grant made by England’s King Charles I to Richard Eggleston in 1643. The great-granddaughter to Mr. Eggleston married the Italian Richard Taliaferro, who then built the stately country home now known as the Powhatan Plantation Manor House.
The structure is the original handmade brick with two towering chimneys at each end of the gorgeous Georgian home.
A very small collection of local found artifacts are housed inside.
Self guided tours daily many Craft Workshops take place during the week.
