7. Sherwood Forest Plantation

CHARLES CITY COUNTY.   A working plantation and former home to the 10th president of the United States, John Tyler, this site is still occupied by the Tyler family. The home is said to be the longest frame house in the US – 300 feet; part of that length includes the 68-foot ballroom where the Virginia Reel was danced. The home is furnished with period antiques, and many of President Tyler's personal items are on display. There is an excellent gift shop on the premises. The plantation is about a 20-minute drive from Williamsburg.   (© 10Best)
