Holly Bend House
The Holly Bend house was constructed between 1795-1800 and represents the lifestyle of Mecklenburg County’s wealthy planter class at that time. In addition to being wealthy planters, the Davidsons were slave owners.
The surrounding property is believed to hold remnants of quarters to house enslaved workers and other outbuildings. Historians believe that more than 100 individuals were enslaved at the plantation surrounding the Holly Bend House.
