Shirley Plantation is the most authentic and intact s Colonial plantation in the country — Virginia’s first plantation (1613), America’s oldest family-owned business and one of the first economic engines of the New World. Through eleven generations, one family has continued to own, io n operate and work this grand southern plantation. The guided tour of the Great House highlights 375 years of family stories as well as original furnishings, portraits, silver and hand- carved woodwork. Included with admission is access to leisurely explore seven original colonial outbuildings surrounded by open fields on the banks of the expansive James River. r ac t t Today, Shirley continues to be a working plantation, a private family home, a family-owned business, a National Historic Landmark and a direct link between the past and the present. Founded in 2009, the membership driven Shirley Plantation Foundation manages daily operations and maintains Shirley’s availability to the public.
