Green Spring Plantation, 17th century plantation in James City County, United States
The 190-acre Green Spring Plantation features natural springs, agricultural fields, and archaeological remnants of colonial structures near Williamsburg.
Governor William Berkeley established Green Spring in 1645, creating an experimental farm that cultivated diverse crops including tobacco, rice, silk, and spirits.
The plantation grounds contain foundations of multiple buildings that demonstrate architectural patterns later reflected in Virginia county courthouses.
The National Park Service maintains the site within Colonial National Historical Park, offering public access through connecting trails from Richmond.
The natural spring water on the estate reaches temperatures so cold that colonial visitors considered it dangerous to drink during summer months.
