Beaver Creek Plantation has been part of Martinsville’s history for more than 240 years. In 1776, George Hairston, a native of Scotland, built the first home on the plantation, which covers more than thirty-thousand acres. Several decades later, the home burned down and was later rebuilt by Marshall Hairston, son of George Hairston. For most of Beaver Creek’s history, it was a slave run tobacco plantation. And it was the place where many slaves were sold to slave-owners of the deep South. Now the plantation is the property of Bank Services of Virginia and is occasionally open for public visits.
