The plantation is located two miles South of the campus of Hampden–Sydney College and Worsham in Prince Edward County, Virginia.[1] [2] [3] [2]
History [ edit ]
Richard N. Venable Samuel W. Venable
The land was granted to Joseph Morton in 1739.[2] [4]
The main house on the plantation was built in 1756 by Nathaniel Venable (1733–1804), who served in the House of Burgesses from 1766 to 1768.[1] [3] [5] [6] [5] [7] tobacco .[5] [7] [8]
In February 1775, a conclave composed of Nathaniel Venable, John Morton and Fred Johnston met in an outbuilding and decided to establish Hampden–Sydney College nearby.[1] [2] [9] [10] Richard N. Venable .[2] Samuel Woodson Venable , lived in another house East of the main house.[2] Abraham B. Venable , served in the United States House of Representatives from 1791 to 1799, Virginia House of Delegates (1800-1803) and briefly in the United States Senate (1803 to 1804) before becoming president of the Bank of Virginia and one of the many dead in the Richmond Theatre fire .[2]
In 1944, the outbuilding was moved to the campus of H–SC.[1] [2] [9] [2]
A historical marker was added in 2003.[5]
Since 2006, Dr. Charles Pearson and his students have been restoring the plantation.[1] [2] [2] Leeds Pottery in 1783.[2] [2] Esther Thomas Atkinson Museum on the H–SC campus has had an exhibit about the plantation called Beneath This Hill: Historical Archaeology at Slate Hill Plantation, Birthplace of Hampden–Sydney College .[1]
