Eppington Plantation Contract Won

We have just won the contract to provide structural engineering services for the stabilization and restoration of the Eppington Plantation in Chesterfield County.

For those of you who don’t know about this site, the Eppington Plantation was built around 1770 and was home to Francis Eppes IV, brother-in-law to Thomas Jefferson.
Following Jefferson’s wife Martha’s death in 1782, two of the Jeffersons' daughters lived here with the Epps family while their father served as the minister to France. Jefferson visited Eppington on several occasions, and during one of his stays he received an invitation from George Washington to serve as the secretary of state.

In 1989, the Eppington Plantation was donated to Chesterfield County, and is protected by a historic preservation easement. The Chesterfield Historical Society and the Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation Department are developing plans to interpret the house. This is where we come in.
