Driving Directions |
|
|
Charles City County, strategically located between the James and Chickahominy Rivers and close to the colonial capitals of Jamestown and Williamsburg, was the first westward expansion of English speaking America. Established in 1616 and sustained by plantings of tobacco, the county became distinctly agricultural. The plantations and farms that sprang up along the James River have survived the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Their gracious manor houses, all privately owned and preserved historic National Register properties, are open for visitors to experience and enjoy today! |
