Berkeley Plantation, Colonial plantation in Charles City County, United States.
The Berkeley estate features a three-story brick Georgian mansion with five garden terraces extending toward the James River in Virginia.
Benjamin Harrison IV constructed the mansion in 1726, which later became the birthplace of William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States.
The mansion contains authentic eighteenth-century antiques, including Chinese porcelain, English silver, and period furniture representing colonial lifestyle.
Guided tours of the mansion and grounds operate daily, allowing visitors to explore the basement museum containing Native American and Civil War artifacts.
The military bugle call 'Taps' originated at Berkeley Plantation in 1862 when Union General Daniel Butterfield modified an existing French army signal.
