Somerset Place is a former plantation near Creswell in Washington County, North Carolina, along the northern shore of Lake Phelps, and now a State Historic Site that belongs to the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Before the end of the American Civil War, Somerset Place had become one of the Upper South's largest plantations.

[4] The event inspired a book titled "Somerset Homecoming" written by the property's former manager Dorothy Spruill Redford, who retired in 2008.

The visitor center's exhibits display the history of the site and antebellum North Carolina.

Nature trails lead to Pettigrew State Park, which adjoins the site.
