The ancestral home of the Page family. The house was destroyed by fire in 1916, but the APVA maintains the ruins and an accompanying visitor center.
Rosewell Plantation in Gloucester County, Virginia, was for more than 100 years the home of a branch of the Page family, one of the First Families of Virginia. Begun in 1725, the Flemish bond brick Rosewell mansion overlooking the York River was one of the most elaborate homes in the American colonies.
