Prestwould

Prestwould is a historic house near Clarksville in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. The most intact and best documented plantation surviving in Southside Virginia was built for Sir Peyton Skipwith, 7th Baronet Skipwith, who moved his family from his Elm Hill Plantation to Prestwould in 1797. It has been operated by the Prestwould Foundation as a historic site since 1963, nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, and declared a National Historic Landmark in 2003. It is located on the north side of the Roanoke River, 1-mile (1.6 km) inland, approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) southwest of the intersection of Route 15 and Route 701, and approximately one mile north of Clarksville's town limits. Now a museum property, it is open for tours from April to October, or by appointment.
