Green Springs, Historic district in Louisa County, Virginia, United States.
The Green Springs district spans 14,000 acres of fertile land with rolling pastures, contrasting with surrounding areas of thin soil and woodlands.
First settled in the 1720s by Tidewater families, the area received its name from a mineral spring that operated as a spa during the 18th century.
The district contains numerous plantation houses built by the Morris and Watson families, including Green Springs, Sylvania, Hawkwood, Grassdale, Ionia, and Bracketts.
While many properties within the district remain private residences, visitors can observe the historical structures and landscapes from public roads.
The Green Springs Historic District became the first rural National Landmark Historic district in the United States when listed in 1974.
