George Mason's Other Plantations
When visitors come to Gunston Hall, they see George Mason's 18th century Georgian mansion, and a portion of his once thriving plantation. However, Gunston Hall was not George Mason's only plantation. In addition to the 5,500 acres surrounding Gunston Hall, Mason owned and farmed approximately 24,000 acres spread out through both Virginia and Maryland.
This section provides information about some of these landholdings in order to give a better understanding of George Mason as an 18th century planter and land speculator.
