It was about 1768 that Colonel James A. Richardson built his home on a 12,000 acre tract on the Cape Fear River near the village of White Oak. It was here, according to local tradition, that the seeds of General Cornwallis defeat at Yorktown were sown. Several old buildings have been moved onto the property to give it a Village of Yesteryear atmosphere.
