Smith's Fort Plantation, Colonial plantation in Surry County, United States.
The plantation features a mid-18th-century Tidewater dwelling with brick construction that represents Georgian architectural elements from colonial Virginia.
Captain John Smith established this fortification in 1609, creating a two-foot-high earthwork that remains the oldest English structure in Virginia.
The property connects to Native American history as Pocahontas received this land from her father Powhatan before it passed to her son Thomas Rolfe.
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation maintains this historic site at 217 Smith Fort Lane, offering visitors access to English and American antique collections.
The fort structure encloses a triangular area measuring two hundred feet on each side, positioned on a high bluff overlooking Gray's Creek.
