Carter's Grove, Colonial plantation in James City County, United States
The Georgian mansion features detailed woodwork across three floors, extensive gardens, and a commanding view over the James River from its elevated position.
Constructed between 1750 and 1753 for Carter Burwell, the grandson of Robert King Carter, the plantation witnessed English colonization and Native American interactions.
The mansion displays sophisticated colonial architecture with intricate moldings, paneled walls, and detailed cornices crafted by English joiner Richard Bayliss.
The estate spans 750 acres along the James River, incorporating preserved woodlands, formal gardens, agricultural fields, and reconstructed slave quarters.
Archaeological excavations at the property revealed Wolstenholme Towne, an early 1620s settlement that fell during the Native American uprising of 1622.
