Powhatan Rural Historic District
Powhatan Rural Historic District, Historic district in King George, Virginia
The Powhatan Rural Historic District spans 1,092 acres, featuring 15 contributing buildings, one contributing site, and three contributing structures near King George.
Edward Thornton Tayloe, a member of the U.S. diplomatic service under Joel Roberts Poinsett, assembled this land during the mid-19th century from previous Tayloe family holdings.
The district contains three separate historic residential farm clusters that demonstrate the architectural evolution through Greek Revival and Federal styles in Virginia.
Visitors can observe the main Powhatan house situated on a ridge, providing views across the Rappahannock River valley and surrounding agricultural landscape.
The property transformed from Hopyard Plantation to Powhatan Hill Plantation before receiving its current designation on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
