Scotchtown, Colonial plantation in Beaverdam, Virginia, United States.

The 93-foot-long residence features eight principal rooms on the first floor, with a central passage, full attic, and an English basement with windows.

Patrick Henry lived at Scotchtown from 1771 to 1778, where he composed his famous liberty speech and served as the first Governor of Virginia.

The plantation house represents colonial architecture and agricultural practices, showing how wealthy landowners lived in 18th-century Virginia.

Visitors can explore Scotchtown from Friday to Sunday between March and December, with guided tours available of both the house and gardens.

The residence ranks among the largest surviving 18th-century homes in the Americas, spanning 3,255 square feet across multiple levels.
