Liberty Hall
In approximately 1742, Dr. William Cabell built the “Swan Creek Plantation” at the center of his Virginia properties and distributed the surrounding tracts to his four sons. Nicholas Cabell inherited the main house upon his father’s death and renamed it during the Revolution, “Liberty Hall.” In 1895, the same year in which the University of Virginia’s Rotunda succumbed to flames, Liberty Hall burned to the ground. Archer Minardi has made the following photographs of the Liberty Hall property and cemetery available.
