The current owner, George F. Copland, is a descendant of William Henry and Sarah Harrison. In 1864, thirty thousand Federal troops camped in the area of North Bend causing the owner, Thomas Wilcox, to leave for Belle Air Plantation. Mr. Wilcox never returned. Union General Phillip Sheridan headquartered at North Bend while his troops built a pontoon bridge across the James River. The desk used by General Sheridan remains at North Bend today. North Bend Plantation is considered the best preserved and purest expression of the academic Greek Revival Style in Charles City County, Virginia.
