Endview Plantation Historic Site, Colonial plantation and military hospital site in Newport News, United States

The Georgian-style mansion features a T-shaped frame structure with four interior rooms displaying medical supplies, period furnishings, and military artifacts from multiple conflicts.

Built in 1769 by William Harwood, the plantation served as a Confederate hospital during the 1862 Peninsula Campaign and later housed seven African-American farming families.

The property includes educational exhibits about Dr. Curtis's 19th-century medical practice, alongside interpretive programs highlighting colonial and Civil War military history.

Located at 362 Yorktown Road, the site opens Thursday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM with guided tours, nature trails, and a medicinal herb garden.

The site stands near the route where General Thomas Nelson Jr.'s militia rested on September 28, 1781, during their march toward the decisive Battle of Yorktown.
