It was the birthplace and childhood home of Founding Father Carter Braxton, a signatory of the Declaration of Independence.

While a stone building is the only above ground 18th century structure remaining, among other ruins, the location of the plantation mansion, two outbuilding foundations, and two cellars have been identified.

The existing landscape elements include a cemetery, historic road, and the terraces of a falling garden.

The property also contains Native American deposits associated mostly with the Woodland period (1200 BC – AD 1600).
