Eppes Plantation overview
Eppes Plantation
Visiting the Eppes Plantation is a great way to learn about the history of the Civil War and the impact it had on the local community. The plantation was occupied by Union troops during the war and was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers. Visitors can explore the plantation house, which has been restored to its 19th-century appearance, and see artifacts from the Civil War era.
One unique thing visitors might see at the Eppes Plantation is the "Crazy Quilt" on display in the house. The quilt was made by women in the area during the war and is made up of fabric scraps from soldiers' uniforms and other materials. It serves as a reminder of the resourcefulness and creativity of people during difficult times.
Overall, the Eppes Plantation is a must-see point of interest for anyone interested in the history of the Civil War and the impact it had on the local community.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
