Robinson Rock House Ruin and Plantation Site, Archaeological site in Reedy Creek Park, United States.
The Robinson Rock House Ruin and Plantation Site, also recorded as Site 31MK272, preserves the remnants of an 18th-century stone dwelling from the Colonial period in Reedy Creek Park, Charlotte. The Robinson Stone House was probably built between 1780 and 1810; today only its stone remains survive within the park.
Stone structures were built between 1780 and 1810, reflecting early European construction techniques. Charlotte acquired the site in 1979, preserving these important remains for future generations.
The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under reference number 31MK272, a designation added in 2009. The name Robinson comes from the family whose stone dwelling stood here; the surrounding plantation grounds are part of the same archaeological site. Visitors walking the Reedy Creek Park trails pass the ruin within a city nature preserve.
Access to the site is provided through walking trails in Reedy Creek Park, reachable from Rocky River Road. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for uneven terrain, as the trails lead through the area with archaeological remains.
The site is catalogued as archaeological site 31MK272, a state trinomial number that lets researchers and park staff identify it in North Carolina's site files. The ruin sits within Reedy Creek Park, land the City of Charlotte bought in September 1979 to create a park and nature preserve.
