Tudor Hall Plantation, built circa 1812, has been carefully restored to its wartime appearance and furnished with period antiques. The house was home to the Boisseau family, ancestors of the Pamplins, and during the Civil War was used as the headquarters of Confederate General Samuel McGowan.
Tudor Hall's furnishings reflect both its civilian and military history. The west side of the house is furnished as the Boisseau family would have known it. The east side of the house is outfitted to suit the needs of a Confederate general and his staff. In the English basement, a display entitled “A Land Worth Fighting For,” explores the Southern agrarian way of life as well as the history of Tudor Hall Plantation.
