Shirley Plantation

One of the oldest family-owned working plantations in the nation, renowned for its 18th-century architecture, historic gardens, and tours.

Tips from the community

A little further down the road from Sherwood Forest is this beautiful plantation house and grounds located right on the James River. One of my favorite facts about Shirley is that it is still owned, operated, and lived in by direct descendants of the original owner, Edward Hill I.

  • 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.
