Ampthill is a plantation located in Cartersville, Virginia, United States, roughly 45 minutes west of Richmond, and just over an hour south of Charlottesville.

But it was this initial purchase of the 670 acres (2.7 km2) would form "The Fork," known for its position on the James and Willis Rivers.

In 1724, Randolph sold to Robert "King" Carter, then the wealthiest landowner in Virginia.

There, he raised his family and wrote the Cumberland Resolutions, which were presented to the community from the steps of the Effingham Tavern.

Randolph called upon his cousin, Thomas Jefferson, to design the brick addition that exists today.

Ampthill and the existing land was then auctioned and purchased by Thomas G. Hardy and Andrew E. Godsey in 1952.

Ampthill was a bed and breakfast and enjoys the prestige of being the only privately owned Jeffersonian property in Virginia.
