Question: What makes Curles Neck Farm in Henrico County historically significant?

Answer: Curles Neck Farm lies at the heart of the James River’s Curles Neck peninsula, one of Virginia’s earliest European-settled sites. Its legacy traces to the Curles Neck Plantation, among the oldest, largest, and most productive James River plantations. The 156-acre farm has been under continuous cultivation since circa 1630 and includes a ca. 1896 Colonial-Revival mansion plus 17 historic farm structures.
