Blandfield was built for William Beverley (1696–1756), son of Virginia's first native-born historian, Robert Beverley, Jr. (c. 1673–1722).

There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know Today, there are close to 4,000 plantations and other places with histories of slavery that exist as museums, historic sites, and other publicly-accessible accommodations such as special event spaces, bed-and-breakfast establishments, or vacation rentals. Yet according to dozens of studies over the last 30 years, the majority of historical sites with histories of slavery, including privately owned and either state- or foundation-run sites, minimize, trivialize, or are completely silent on their histories of slavery in their online and print materials.
