Oatlands Plantation
Oatlands Plantation was built in 1798 by George Carter, of the prominent Carter family of Virginia, as a grain plantation. The federal style plantation house was completed in 1804. The plantation was commercially successful until the advent of the Civil War. During the first half of the 20th century the plantation served as the country home of Mr. and Mrs. William Corcoran Eustis, a Washington political family.
