Battersea, Historic plantation district in Gallion, Alabama, US.

The Battersea plantation house features a two-by-two log cabin core with additional rooms constructed during the 1840s and a second story added in the 1880s.

Built around 1820 by the Vaughan family from Petersburg, Virginia, Battersea functioned as a stagecoach stop and represents early Alabama settlement patterns.

The plantation reflects the architectural evolution of rural Alabama residences, from basic log structures to expanded family homes with modern adaptations.

Located on County Road 12, approximately 0.2 miles west of Gallion Post Office, Battersea remains a private residence visible only from the road.

The property earned recognition through the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 as part of the Alabama Canebrake Plantation Houses collection.
