The Bushrod family took up residence here by the early 1700s. The Bushrods and Bushfield plantation were subsequently linked by ownership and marriage to their Westmoreland County neighbors, the Washington and Lee families.

The house dates to sometime in the 18th century, and the graves of a second generation of Bushrods who owned the property are found in a family plot near the house. Col. John Bushrod died in 1719, and his wife, Hannah, died in 1739. The house was renovated and expanded in 1916, when it took on its present appearance as a Colonial Revival-style residence. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
