My sister-in-law used to live less than 15 minutes from it so we went there a couple of times.
I truly enjoyed the history and the beauty of the inside !
These Hills are my direct ancestors. The town in Southwest Virginia called Hillsville in Carroll County, Virginia named for them. My gg grandmother was Eliza Jane Hill from this area.
Love your videos! Thanks for putting these up. I think you do a great job and also love the drone footage. These places are all places I hope to get to at some point. There is so much to see in this country and especially in Virginia. Love your passion for history! Again, you do a great job with these. Love the authenticity of them. Rock on!
Appreciate the kinds words. Thanks, I enjoy making them!
My DNA date my blood line to 1700 Virginia an we went from there if u have that same results in Virginia in 1700 hey family
It looks like a lovely property and the design of the main house as well as the surrounding acreage seems well maintained and has an almost old world gothic feel to it
‚Gothic‘ is not what clmes to my mind , lol
Thank you for sharing. I have always wanted to check it out and hopefully soon.
This docent is a rock star. 👏
Robert “King” Carter was my 7th great grandfather.
Mine too
Wow
And mine through slavery
Thank you for the tour. I grew up in Franklin.
wish these *no filming inside* places understood that there's people out there like me, who would never visit something like this unless i was inspired to. And the inspiration is found in the places they don't allow filming... so too bad. xo
Pictures of the interior on the internet
Ha! you glossed right over the staircase. If I recall right (from my 2016 visit), the significance of it is that it's a "floating" staircase with no visible support. Love your videos though, very informative.
Thanks. I ride by this place a lot going to Williamsburg. Always wanted to see it. May stop by one day.
Another great video!
Would have been nice to see the inside of main house such a pity there was no filming allowed . The rest of the video was good thank you . I've always been interested in old house's even here in England been to a lot also up in Scotland . Hope to see more of your video's . From across the pond
Love your videos
Went last year. Inside is incredible
Very good. Thanks for sharing
What a beautiful house ❤
These people, the Carter's are relatives of mine. My great-great grandmother was a Carter. Her father was brother of Ann Hill Carter, mother of Robert E Lee. Sure would like to visit my cousins.
I agree with Joanne.
named after Sir Wests wife's father Shirley, lots of locals here from the colonial triangle im up the road in Gloucester
It looks so modern for being built in the 1600s. I thought houses didn’t start to look like that until after the 1700s.
The plantation is from the 1600s, but I understand the main house was built in the 1720s-30s
Where did all the bricks come from so early in our history? It was different in the north at that time period.
@@margarettickle9659, usually bricks were made on site by enslaved people. Most often, enslaved people made the bricks AND built the houses. Personally, I wish those relaying history would give credit where credit is due.

Check out the Shelton house in hanover
THANK GOD the North didn't destroy EVERYTHING
during the Civil War!
The grays
They filmed "Turn,George Washington Spies" there too.
looks like the gray plantation house from rdr2. i know they modeled the braithwaite manor from the whitney house i think its called
I had no idea that houses were built like that back then
My relatives home… beautiful hope to visit all of them some day…. Westover, Berkeley, and more….. related to many Founding Father’s and President’s and lots of first settlers….so amazing 👩🌾
Bur. It dwn
I think it's so lame when places do tours but no photo or photography.
here from red dead redemption 2
Just look at what Blacks built! Half of the Carter family was probably Black. That's how it worked on those plantations. They were all mixing with each other. Just imagine what life must have been like for the slaves. The film guy did a good job showing us the scenery of the plantation.
Exactly 💯
isn't that the Gray Mansion from Red Dead Redemption 2?
Bacons Castle is much older.
Looks like an interesting place
Похож на дом греев из рдр 2
Beautiful place. You would think that they would provide parking that's a little closer. I guess it's a no for those of us with bad knees. Shame.
Calliga Hall
Surprised hollywood never used it.
You can see it a couple time towards the end of the TV show Turn. Season 1, episode 1
No that’s caliga hall
Why was there no mention that Shirley Plantation was the site of the first Thanksgiving which was prior to the Thanksgiving celebration at Plymouth?
@Karen Pinson A different group of people !?!
@Karen Pinson The first Thanksgiving was in Massachusetts and Shirley Plantation was in Virginia. No telegraph system at that time.
😂😂😂😂😂
They ate dove?!?
Sure, it's foul, like chicken duck,or turkey. Taste more like duck, they're small. Ninney. Y'all people,idk.you eat lobster tails and ask a question like that,I sure don't do escargot, but some people do.
People still eat dove🙄
Duve is great to eat.
1613? WOW!! That's Europe-old, y'all.
That is not even a close " Europe old" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I killed so many gray's family member at this building
Slaves quarters still there??
3:28 BE CAREFUL🤡
😡💀
😆 didn't mean it in that way
@SANFORD & SON be careful of what? The ghosts? I don't understand!?!
4:03 - 4:08 ; a bandaid over slavery
The video presenter has nothing to hide or to be ashamed of. This is the history video they decided to do. If you don't like it then go make your own. But I'm sure if he talked a lot about slavery then you would say he was "gloryfing" slavery'
Why didn't you mention anything about slavery? I myself have visited and I know they had a lot of slaves, hence the wealth, be good to hear the whole story.
Event 201 Clade X
The music is distracting and awful.
I can only imagine the horrible things that took place on this land
The architecture and art is great and enchanting, but the way the owners made their money to afford it is positively revolting :(
Yawn!! Get over it
@@lutzderlurch7877Grow up
Stop watching
Not very well presented, not enough description so not very enjoyable, music irritating! Sorry!
Then make your own history video and let us comment on it.
Where did there slaves live? Slaves got here in 1619
This sucks
Build your own palace and celebrate that
They did😊
Dude you got to lose the mask and breath fresh air for gods sake. You are in the great outdoors with nobody around.
Terrible music.
You might want to consider using 'period appropriate'' background music. The music you're using is not good at all.
