Warner Hall
Warner Hall is a historic plantation in Gloucester County, Virginia, United States. It was established in 1642 by a grant to Augustine Warner, progenitor of many prominent First Families of Virginia, and great-great-grandfather of President George Washington.[2] The history of the plantation includes association with Bacon's Rebellion when it was sacked by the rebels who confiscated goods amounting to £845, or the equivalent of what 40 slaves or servants would produce in a year, and it was the home of George Washington's grandparents. The current plantation house is a c. 1900 Colonial Revival mansion, built upon much older foundations, and is operated as a country inn.[3]
