Built in 1769 by Colonel William Harwood, Jr., signer of the Virginia Resolves, this home has experienced the ordeal of three wars. Endview was visited by Generals George Washington, Thomas Nelson, Jr. and George B. McClellan. The Revolutionary War brought 3,000 militia to its fresh water spring. The War of 1812 saw its use as a training ground, while the Civil War found Endview serving as a Confederate captain's home and a hospital for both sides.
The Georgian-style main plantation house dates to 1769. The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Restored to its 1862 appearance, The Civil War at Endview Plantation interprets rural Virginia life.
