Fodor's Expert Review Rock Ford Plantation

Set on 33 acres, the Historic Rock Ford Plantation is the restored homestead of General Edward Hand, a Revolutionary War commander, George Washington's confidant, and wealthy landowner. Period antiques and folk art are displayed in the 1794 Georgian-style mansion, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. In partnering with the African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania, Historic Rock Ford’s programs include the legacy and stories of the slaves who lived and worked on Hand’s farm and in the household.
