Faunsdale Plantation, Greek Revival plantation in Marengo County, United States

The two-story wooden plantation house features a gabled roof, symmetrical wings, and grand columns that embody the Greek Revival architectural style.

Dr. Thomas Harrison established the plantation in 1843, bringing enslaved workers from Virginia to cultivate cotton in the fertile Black Belt region.

The plantation records document the lives of 186 enslaved individuals by 1864, preserving detailed information about 35 families and their surnames.

The 13-acre property contains the main house and several preserved cabins that housed workers, offering insights into 19th-century plantation architecture.

The Harrisons named their estate after Faunus, a Roman agricultural deity, and donated land for St. Michael's Episcopal Church in 1844.
