context_page_description: Varina Farms, also known as Varina Plantation or Varina Farms Plantation or Varina on the James, is a plantation established in the 17th century on the James River about 10 miles south of Richmond, Virginia. As "Varina Plantation", an 820-acre property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. At that time it included two contributing buildings and one other contributing sites.
  It was established 50 miles from the first settlement at Jamestown in the Virginia Colony, and across the river from Henricus, which was established by Thomas Dale in 1611. Varina Farm was still actively cultivated as a working farm, and privately owned, in 1977.
