About

One hundred years before 1776, this site played a key role in a well-known rebellion against the colonial government, a rebellion known as Bacon's Rebellion. This was the site of Arlington plantation, built by John Custis II, the founder of the Custis family in Virginia. Before the Custis family was in Williamsburg, they were here. To fully follow the history of General Washington's family, do not miss this beautiful historic site with a gorgeous view of Old Plantation Creek.
