Important Site Note: Please be aware that despite its name—which stems from its historical role in Bacon's Rebellion of 1676—Bacon's Castle is not a medieval stone fortress, but a preserved 17th-century Virginia plantation property complete with surviving historic slave quarters. The site is maintained by Preservation Virginia, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring and educating the public about the lives, struggles, and history of all people who lived and worked on the land, including the enslaved individuals whose labor built and sustained it.
