A working plantation for over 200 years, the house was begun in 1789 by wealthy Virginia planter Thomas Marston Green Jr. and reflects the architectural style prevalent at that time; furnishings are from a somewhat later period. Andrew
Jackson and Rachel Robards were married at the plantation in 1791. The 1,000 acre grounds are still farmed. Picnicking is permitted.
Open daily until dusk; closed major holidays. Springfield is one of the first houses in America to have a full colonnade across the entire facade and is the first such mansion to be built in the Mississippi valley.
