Joseph Wheeler Plantation
Joseph Wheeler Plantation, Historic plantation in Wheeler, Alabama, US.
The Joseph Wheeler Plantation contains twelve structures spread across the Tennessee River Valley, including the Sherrod House and agricultural buildings from 1818 to 1880.
General Joseph Wheeler, a Confederate Army officer and US Representative, acquired the plantation through marriage to Daniella Sherrod in the 1870s after serving in the Civil War.
The Federal style architecture of the Sherrod House, expanded from a log dogtrot cabin in the 1830s, represents early nineteenth-century building methods in Alabama.
The plantation functions as a state-operated historic site since 1993, when the Wheeler family donated the property to the Alabama Historical Commission.
Annie Wheeler, the general's daughter, maintained residence at the plantation until 1955, preserving the family connection for multiple generations.
