The Mansion at Fort Chiswell is tucked away in the rolling hills at the foot of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. 

Located at the crossroads of the Virginias, North Carolina, and Tennessee (I-81 and I-77 intersect) this 10,000 sq. ft., brick colonial Mansion was built in 1839 by Stephen and Joseph Cloyd McGavock. 

The mansion is located just a short distance from another historical place, the McGavock Family Cemetery, which is the final resting place of the revolutionary veteran James McGavock, Sr, grandfather to Stephen and Joseph.
