Bel Air Plantation was the prominent feature here prior to the early 1800's, when large dairy farms began to flourish nearby. The Plantation was located on the North side of Minnieville Road between Cardinal Drive and Spriggs Road. The main house was built about 1740. Parson Mason Locke Weems , the first biographer of George Washington is buried on the property. The house still stands as of 2006. Though there are many residents of the subdivisions now located on land that once was recognized as being part of the town of Minnieville, the name itself is no longer used to identify this area, hence the designation of extinct. A roadside marker is the only remnant. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
