Partly constructed by William Randolph III in 1733, Tuckahoe in Goochland County, Virginia was completed in 1740. Its name comes from an Algonquian word for an edible root that grew along the nearby creek. Today it is among the most well-preserved Virginia plantations from that era. Some have seen the apparition of a woman dressed in gray, but its most famous phantom is a young bride often seen running down a path away from the house. #virginia #secretvirginia #hauntedstories
