Four Locust Farm

The property encompasses 332 acres with a two-story farmhouse from 1859 and twenty agricultural structures including barns, silos, and equipment sheds.

The farm transformed from tobacco production in 1919 to dairy operations in 1925, maintaining a herd of 100 Holstein-Friesian cattle until 1962.

This agricultural property illustrates the evolution of farming practices in Virginia through its preserved structures and continuous family operation across generations.

The farm buildings retain their original exterior and interior features, providing researchers with examples of nineteenth and twentieth-century agricultural architecture.

The property contains a collection of twenty farm buildings that demonstrate the transition from tobacco to dairy to beef cattle production over nearly a century.
