United States Virginia Surry

Bacon's Castle

A 17th-century brick dwelling, famous as America's oldest preserved plantation structure, tied to a 1676 colonial rebellion.

Tips from the community

It's not a castle, and theres no bacon here. But you will find beautiful gardens, impressive architecture, and if you're luck (or not), maybe a few ghosts.

  • Virginia's Historic Triangle

    I have spent my whole life visiting different places in Virginia and was lucky enough to live there for six years. In that time I have visited countless historic sites and even had the chance to work at some. From archaeological sites to historic trades, Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown have a lot to offer any visitor to the Historic Triangle.
