Greenfield, also known as Col. William Preston Plantation, Preston House, and Botetourt Center at Greenfield, is a historic plantation site located at Fincastle, Botetourt County, Virginia. It is the site of a large forced-labor farm AKA enslaved people established in the mid-18th century by Colonel William Preston (1729-1783) before he moved to Smithfield in 1774.[3] The plantation house was destroyed by fire in 1959. The remaining buildings are kitchen/quarters (c. 1832) and saddlebag slave dwelling (c. 1850).
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, and was delisted in 2022.[2]
