Richard Mendenhall Plantation Buildings
Richard Mendenhall Plantation Buildings, Plantation buildings in Jamestown, North Carolina.
The Richard Mendenhall property contains seven early 19th-century structures, including a two-story brick house with porches on three sides and a Pennsylvania German style barn.
Built in 1811, this Quaker homestead received recognition from the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 for its role in demonstrating non-slave holding practices.
The buildings represent a Quaker farming community that opposed slavery and supported education through features like the one-room schoolhouse and false-bottom wagons.
The Historic Jamestown Society maintains the 9-acre site, offering guided tours where visitors learn about traditional activities such as yarn dyeing and leather tanning.
The property includes Dr Madison Lindsay's House, contributing to local medical history, and displays an Underground Railroad false-bottom wagon used for helping escaped slaves.
