Harmony Hall Plantation is one of the oldest residences in North Carolina. Located in White Oak in Bladen County, Harmony Hall was built by Colonel James Richardson prior to 1768 near the Cape Fear River. In addition to the residence, the plantation is home to several other historical buildings from the 18th century to the early 1900s. The plantation is owned by a nonprofit organization and operated by volunteers. The home has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972.
Segment 13 of the
Mountains-to-Sea Trail runs past the plantation. The Harmony Hall house is only open from 2 to 4 on Sundays, but the property is open to tour the grounds during daylight hours.
