Hickory Hill, Federal style estate in Hanover County, Virginia.
The grand mansion at Hickory Hill stands at the center of a 3,300-acre property with agricultural fields and historic outbuildings, located north of Richmond.
The estate traces its origins to 1734 when Robert Carter acquired the land before giving it to his daughter Anne Butler Carter and W.F. Wickham as a wedding gift.
The property includes a documented cemetery containing 149 burial sites of enslaved individuals and African Americans, dating from 1820 to 1938.
Visitors can access parts of the National Register of Historic Places property through scheduled appointments and guided tours arranged through local preservation organizations.
The plantation maintains extensive documentation through W.F. Wickham's detailed diaries, recording names and relationships of enslaved individuals from 1828 to 1864.
