The Seven Islands Archeological and Historic District encompasses a 312acres site near the confluence of the James and Slate Rivers in Buckingham and Fluvanna Counties in Virginia. The site is notable for a number of prehistoric archaeological sites, the largest of which is a Woodland period Native American site, while smaller sites from earlier periods also exist in the area. The site is also notable for the Seven Islands house, a well-preserved Greek Revival I-house. It is situated on a bluff in Buckingham County with commanding views of the James River, across from the Bremo Plantation.[1]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
