Elsing Green, National Historic Landmark plantation in King William County, Virginia.
The U-shaped brick manor house features Flemish-bond brickwork, with east and west wings extending northward along the Pamunkey River banks.
Carter Braxton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, purchased the plantation in 1753 and constructed the Queen Anne manor house in 1758.
The interior contains notable 18th-century American and English furniture, including the table used for Yorktown surrender negotiations during the Revolutionary War.
The 2,254-acre property functions as both an operational plantation and a wildlife refuge, with cultivated lands, woods, marsh, and swamp areas.
The original structure, built before 1690 by Colonel John West, now serves as the east dependency of the main house.
