About Hope Plantation
Welcome to Historic Hope Plantation, restored home of former
North Carolina Governor David Stone (1770-1818). Located four
miles west of Windsor, NC, the plantation complex offers unique
insights into the late 18th- and 19th-century rural life in
eastern North Carolina and the South.
The centerpiece of the plantation is the c. 1803 Hope Mansion,
Governor Stone's stunning example of an academic architectural
combination of Federal and Georgian architecture. Restored and
opened to the public since 1972, the mansion is meticulously
furnished with reproductions and an extensive collection of
original period pieces.
The 1763 King-Bazemore House represents a fine example of
vernacular architecture. It is one of the few remaining examples
in North Carolina of mid-eighteenth century "hall and parlor"
design. The home has been restored and furnished based on the
1778 inventory of owner, William King
Both homes are on the National Register of Historic Places
and are administered by the Historic Hope Foundation, Inc.,
a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and
interpreting the history of Hope Plantation and managed by a
paid staff and board of directors. The site is open to the
public and guided tours are offered daily.
