  Berkeley Plantation
(Sights & Activities - Historic Sites)
12602 Harrison Landing RdCharles City VA 23030 804-829-6018
Description:
CHARLES CITY. This is a plantation of "firsts" the first official Thanksgiving was celebrated here, it was the first commercial shipyard, distillers created the first bourbon whiskey here and, to top it all off, the first 10 presidents visited the plantation! The 1726 Georgian house is authentically furnished and the gardens, overlooking the James River, are breathtaking. There is a museum exhibit, an audiovisual program and costumed guides to conduct tours. There is also a gift shop and the Coach House Tavern, which serves lunch. Another bit of trivia: "Taps" was composed here when McClellan housed his Union troops on the site. If you only get to one plantation, this should be the one.
