The Foscue Plantation House
Built 1804
Certified by State of North Carolina Division of Archives and History and entered on the National Register of Historic Places
According to the Pollocksville, NC website, this multi-story farm house served as home to the Foscue family which operated a 10,000 acre plantation operated by slave labor. It was the first brick home in Jones County on the Trent River built in 1803-04 by Simon Foscue. During the Civil War, it was used as a hospital which accounts for the fact that it was the only plantation house left standing along Highway 17 between New Bern and Scotts Hill in Wilmington
