Bacon's Castle, one of only three surviving Jacobean "great houses" in the Western Hemisphere, was built in 1665 by planter Arthur Allen. In 1676, during Bacon's Rebellion, seventy of Nathaniel Bacon's men drove Allen's son, Major Arthur Allen, and his family from their home, occupying it for four months.
