About

Pine Slash, c1750, standing near Totopotomoy Creek in Hanover County, is one of only two surviving original homes of Patrick Henry.

The original 300-acre tract, once part of Rural Plains, was given to Patrick Henry and his first wife Sarah when they were married and is often called the "honeymoon cottage."

Today, the Pine Slash cottage, a restored 1830s dwelling known as Prospect Hill, an early 19th-century brick carriage house and two 20th-century structures sit on the last five acres of the original tract.
