endview plantation

Only a small home but very interesting. Lots of family history with items from their past and also civil war artifacts. The guide was very good in explaining the history of the area, house and family Very enjoyable visit.

An interesting place to learn about history. Great terrain and fun for kids interested in battle grounds to run around.

The grounds here make you feel like you just walked into the past. It has a private grave site. Many outbuilding. A Military camp site. There is hitching post for the horses. Spectacular Place to visit. The long driveway leading up to the house. I am sure during the day Lee Hall was considered one of there close neighbors. You will enjoy this if you take your time to absorb the surroundings and feel like you were living there yourself in that time. Wonderful.

This is just like Lee Hall Mansion. Walking right on history into an old Confederate hospital and plantation. You can walk all around inside as well as on the grounds where you can find old cabins in the woods where soldiers stayed during the winter months. it is definitely creepy and said to be very haunted.

Our group of three (all adults) visited Endview the same afternoon that we visited the nearby Lee Hall Mansion. Both sites are worth visiting. Tours of the historic house are guided. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the house and the area's local history. Endview is approx. 100 years older than Lee Hall, and I found it fascinating that it stayed in the hands of descendants of the original family until 1985. Kudos to the city of Newport News for acquiring both of these properties, restoring them, and keeping them open to the public. There is much history here. It is well worth a visit.

It is really neat to travel back to a time when things were not so hectic. Endview is one of those places. There is so much history in Virginia and Endview is just one of the few plantations left in the area you can see. Interesting family cemetery

The visit is very interesting. I feel that trip to the plantation is historical and all visitors should visit this historic site. You will not be disappointed. Children of all ages need to see the sights. You will not be disappointed.

We enjoyed our visit to endview very nice simple plantation house. Lots of civil war relics to see. Nice grounds for a great walk. Relat enjoyed our visit.

A bit more historic than the close-by Lee Hall mansion. This house played a role in the Civil War battles taking place in the area now covered by Newport News Park.

Friendly staff, interesting history, beautiful grounds, AWESOME unique civil war summer camp for kids.

Its a small house, the restoration okay. Did have quite a bit of Civil War artifacts. Don't think it was worth the entry fee. What we did find interesting was talking to the archeologist that was working on the kitchen dig. The outside fo the house and the land surrounding it is open to the public w/o admission fee and beautiful.

House isn't as big as some "plantations" but the tour was very interesting. Since the house was used at one point as a Union Hospital, there were very interesting displays about medical treatments and other info on civil war.

If you want to learn more about the history of the area and the people who settled it this is a place to see. Plantations were so beautiful and it is wonderful that this one and some others were saved and restored to their original state. They should be saved so that everyone can learn of the history of our country. This area is so full of how our country began.

We visited Endview Plantation on New Year's Eve, hence no crowds whatsoever, so we were treated to a private tour of the house. Our guide was knowledgeable and did not rush us through at all. This historic site focuses on Civil War involvement on the Peninsula, which is often overshadowed by larger sites/tours in Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown.

this place was part of the great hsitory of this area--and the guides are very thorough and the place is lovely--a gem in a sea of fast food restaurants and gas stations--and you don't see any of that when you go there
