Castlewood
The Chesterfield Historical Society is headquartered at Castlewood, an 1817 plantation house located at the corner of Krause and Iron Bridge roads. Castlewood has a five-part building plan that bears no likeness to any other recorded dwelling in Virginia. Its unique place in the county's architectural history makes it a fitting home for the Historical Society, whose offices and research library are located on the first floor. The home's builder, Parke Poindexter, served as clerk of Chesterfield County Court from 1812 until his death in 1847.

Magnolia Grange
Magnolia Grange is a Federal-style plantation house built in 1822 by William Winfree. The building was named for the circle of magnolia trees that once graced its front lawn. Its distinctive architectural features include elaborate ceiling medallions and intricate carvings on mantels, doorways and window frames. Today, Magnolia Grange is a house museum that interprets life at a 19th-century country plantation and is home to the Chesterfield Historical Society's gift shop.
