Sam Davis Home and Plantation

Sam Davis Home and Plantation is at 1399 Sam Davis Rd. The restored mid-19th-century frame structure was the residence of Sam Davis, a 21-year-old Confederate soldier who was captured behind enemy lines and hanged after refusing to inform on a fellow soldier. The 160-acre grounds contain outbuildings, slave quarters, period gardens, a family cemetery, visitor center and museum. The lives of the enslaved people who lived on the farm are depicted in the exhibit “Recovering Their Story: The African Americans on the Davis Plantation.”

The home can be visited by guided tour only.

Guided tours are available. Time: Allow 1 hour minimum.
