Abstract:

Hope Plantation, Bertie County's finest historic home, was built in 1803 by David Stone, who was governor from 1808 to 1810. In 1965, a group called the Historic Hope Foundation set out to save the abandoned house. By 1972, Hope Plantation had been restored, entered on the Register of Historic Places, and opened to the public. Visitors to the stately plantation can experience rural life in the northeastern part of the state as it was lived in the late 18- and early 19th-centuries.
