Coastal, Urban and Vacation Homes

atkinsonrealty Welcome back to our historical home series, this time, we’re visiting the Ferry Plantation House! Rife with history, let’s dive in and unpack the legend of the The Hanging Tree and The Witch of Pungo lore that surrounds this infamous home. An aerial view of the lovely terraced grounds. From here you can see mature trees and colonial-era landscaping of days gone by. The Ferry Plantation House was once the Princess Anne Courthouse, and as we’ll see in later slides, the hanging grounds if found guilty. What’s truly fascinating about this building is the symmetry.

You may need to ask a relative for a copy as it’s out of print and hard to find, but an incredible read of historical, local fiction. Illustrations from Mrs. Kyle’s Witch of Pungo detailing Grace Sherwood’s trial by water and accusation of witchcraft. Grace Sherwood survived her trial by water by freeing herself, spent seven years in jail and then retired to her farmland tending to her crops and animals. A painting depicting her trial and Witchduck Point at the time. Artist is unknown. Grace Sherwood’s home in Princess Anne County. She is buried near her home. A small statue of Grace Sherwood near Sentara Independence Hospital and the entrance of the Old Donation neighborhood commemorates her life and bravery. It’s
