Bremo Historic District, Plantation district in Fluvanna County, Virginia
The Bremo Historic District extends across 1500 acres along the James River, containing three distinct estates with neo-Palladian architectural elements.
John Hartwell Cocke established the plantation in 1808, building three residences named Upper Bremo, Lower Bremo, and Bremo Recess over several years.
The main mansion reflects direct influence from Thomas Jefferson's architectural principles, featuring consultation from Monticello's master joiner John Neilson.
Access to the historic district requires advance permission from property owners, as the estates remain under private ownership and management.
Mary Anna Custis Lee, wife of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, found refuge at Bremo during the Civil War from March to November 1865.
