14mi from Halifax · 1 site · Tent, RVWelcome to this historic place! We're glad you chose to stay on our property. Take a walk back in time down the path and see the old corn crib and hog pen, where hogs once helped feed our family and many others. Just beyond, on the right, are the remains of an old cabin that once housed the farm workers who tended this land.
Farther along, you'll find a block barn that was used to store tobacco before it went to market. Nearby stands an old tobacco barn where our great-grandfather and his four children hung freshly picked tobacco while small fires below cured the leaves.
Continue down the main path until you reach a fork. Turn right and head to the lowlands, where you'll find a cool, rock-bottom creek perfect for wading. Explore upstream or downstream, and you may even discover a deep swimming hole for a refreshing dip.
Follow the trail up the hill into the hardwoods and pines, where you might spot interesting rock formations. Across the road from the front gate and house, a path winds through the plantation pines and opens into an old farm field. Years ago, these fields grew tobacco, corn, beans, and hay for cattle.
Continue through the field and into the woods, keeping an eye out for Native American artifacts, as this was once their home as well. Beyond the trees lies the Hyco River, our property boundary. You can follow the river to the bridge or enjoy fishing and swimming wherever you find a safe spot, always at your own risk.
At night, you may hear coyotes in the distance, and in the early morning, wild turkeys calling from their roosts.
Please be respectful of other guests enjoying the property. With 400 acres to explore, there's plenty of room to spread out and make memories. Keep campfires contained within a fire pit and extinguish them completely with water before leaving. The coals should be cool enough to touch safely, with no smoke or steam remaining. We hope you'll enjoy our property as much as we do and help us keep it beautiful by packing out all trash when you leave.
