Bacon's Castle Horticulturist APVA is a historic plantation located in Surry, Virginia. It was built in 1665 and is now a museum operated by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA). The plantation was named after its original owner, Arthur Allen, who was a wealthy planter and merchant.

The plantation has a rich history and was the site of the 1676 Bacon's Rebellion, a popular uprising against the colonial government of Virginia led by Nathaniel Bacon. The rebellion resulted in the burning of the plantation and the death of many of its inhabitants.

Today, visitors to the Bacon's Castle Horticulturist APVA can explore the plantation's restored 18th-century gardens, which showcase a variety of horticultural specimens and techniques used in colonial Virginia. The gardens are divided into several sections, including a formal parterre, a kitchen garden, and a fruit orchard.

In addition to the gardens, the museum features exhibits on the plantation's history and the people who lived and worked there. Visitors can also tour the plantation's original buildings, including the main house, kitchen, and slave quarters.

Overall, the Bacon's Castle Horticulturist APVA is a fascinating glimpse into the history of colonial Virginia and a must-see for anyone interested in horticulture or American history.
