Smith's Fort Plantation

Smith's Fort Plantation is a house and parcel of land located in Surry County, Virginia, United States.

[5][8] The property and current house was acquired by Preservation Virginia (formerly known as the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) in 1933 after undergoing restoration funded by John D. Rockefeller Jr.[6] It is currently open as a museum with furnishings from the late 16th through the early 18th centuries.

Smith wrote of this fort that it was "neere a convenient River upon high commanding hill, very hard to be assaulted an easie to be defended."

The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquites maintains the site now, whose location matches Smith's description.

Archaeological investigations over the site have been limited to the excavations of a ditch and a highly eroded rampart.
