Chericoke, Federal style plantation in King William County, Virginia
The brick structure of Chericoke stretches across 37 acres of land, featuring both Georgian and Federal architectural elements in its design and construction.
Dr. Corbin Braxton rebuilt Chericoke in 1828 on the land where his grandfather Carter Braxton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, constructed the original house.
The plantation represents the architectural preferences of prosperous Virginia planters during the Federal period, with its simple entrance and porticoed garden design.
The property maintains its private residential status, though portions of the structure remain visible from the public right-of-way near Falls, Virginia.
The unmarked burial site of Carter Braxton, one of America's Founding Fathers, is believed to be located in the family cemetery adjacent to the plantation.
