This plantation was considered one of the wonders of the antebellum South. John H. Randolph, a wealthy sugar cane planter, commissioned New Orleans architect, Henry Howard to design and build the most palatial home on the Mississippi River. Randolph was not disappointed.

There are three stories with interior/exterior corridors. Nottoway is a complete smoke-free premises and has a gift shop.
