Lower Brandon Plantation (or simply Brandon or Brandon Plantation and initially known as Martin’s Brandon) is located on the south shore of the James River in present-day Prince George County, Virginia.

The plantation is an active farm and was tended perhaps from 1607 on, and more clearly from 1614 on, making it one of the longest-running agricultural enterprises in the United States. It has an unusual brick mansion in the style of Palladio’s “Roman Country House” completed in the 1760s, and was perhaps designed by Thomas Jefferson.[4]

The Virginia plantation was established in 1616 by Captain John Martin, one of the original leaders of the Virginia Colony at Jamestown in 1607. The plantation was owned by the Harrison family for over two centuries, from 1700–1926. Restored by Robert Williams Daniel in the early 20th century, it is a National Historical Landmark.
