Oatlands Historic House and Gardens is an estate of a mansion and 415 acres of farmland and gardens in Leesburg, Virginia, operated today by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. George Carter, a great-grandson of Robert King Carter, built the house around 1804 in the Federal style with later Greek Revival additions in the 1820s and 1830s, and it is considered one of the finest Federal period country estate houses in the country; its greenhouse, built in 1810, is the oldest standing greenhouse in the South. The estate was built and worked by enslaved people, 133 of whom were held there by 1860, and later owners included Washington Post founder Stilson Hutchins and the Eustis family, who restored the gardens and hosted guests including Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman. Oatlands was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971.
