Denbigh Plantation Site
Denbigh Plantation Site, Archaeological plantation site in Newport News, United States.
The Denbigh Plantation Site contains foundations of multiple historical houses, including the remains of the Digges and Mathews residences in Newport News.
Captain Samuel Mathews constructed the original manor house in 1626, which later burned in 1650 and was replaced by his son, Samuel Mathews Jr.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered early porcelain ceramics and artifacts that document the evolution of domestic life in colonial Virginia.
Visitors can observe the preserved outlines of historical foundations and examine two standing structures: a 1700s dairy and an early 1800s kitchen.
The location represents one of the few excavated and intact house sites from Virginia's first fifty years of settlement.
