Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Centre Hill Mansion was built around 1820 by Robert Bolling IV and was considered the most stately house in Petersburg at the time. Bolling was captain of a militia unit during the Revolutionary War and grew wealthy through his tobacco farm operations. The mansion was passed down to Bolling’s son who renovated the mansion to a Greek Revival style, and in 1901 the home underwent significant restoration after being purchased by a Petersburg lawyer. Three U.S. presidents have visited the home which was deeded to the city of Petersburg in 1972 and was the location of filming for a Steven Spielberg film in 2011. Guided tours are offered every half hour during their weekend hours.
