Oatlands Plantation

The Federal-style mansion sits on a large estate with formal gardens, multi-level terraces, and 28 historic structures from different time periods.

Built in 1810, this plantation initially covered 3,408 acres, operating wheat fields along with grist and saw mills until its transformation into public heritage.

The property preserves documents and artifacts that tell stories of Native American settlements, European colonization, and individuals who worked under slavery conditions.

Visitors can explore the mansion interior, walk through multiple garden levels, and participate in educational programs about Virginia agricultural development.

The site maintains records of enslaved people from the Carter period, contributing to genealogical research and historical documentation of African American families.
