Scotchtown is a plantation in Hanover County, Virginia, that from 1771 to 1778 was the residence of Founding Father Patrick Henry, his wife Sarah and their children; Henry was elected the first Governor of Virginia in 1778. The house, in Beaverdam, Virginia, measures 93 by 35 feet and is one of the largest eighteenth century homes to survive in the Americas, with eight substantial rooms on its first floor around a central passage, a full attic above and an English basement below. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965.
