Evelynton, Historic plantation house in Charles City County, Virginia.
The Colonial Revival mansion features seven bays across two stories, connected dependencies, and multiple brick dormers rising from the gable roof.
Edmund Ruffin Jr purchased the property in 1847, and the current structure was rebuilt in 1937 following destruction during the Civil War.
The property maintains traces of agricultural innovation through Edmund Ruffin's scientific soil testing methods and contributions to early American farming practices.
The 48-acre estate stands along Virginia Route 5, approximately 2 miles east of Harrison, with multiple historical markers in the surrounding area.
The estate contains visible Civil War breastworks from the 1862 Peninsula Campaign, when Confederate generals Stuart and Longstreet led military operations.
