Creswell - Somerset Place

When visiting Creswell, be sure to stop in at Somerset Place. This antebellum plantation is representative of what a large North Carolina plantation was like in the 19th Century. The plantation has seven 19th Century buildings and the property is spread over 31 acres on the shores of Lake Phelps. A visit to Somerset Place will give visitors an overview of the life and times of the owners, slaves, whites, and freed blacks that lived and worked there over an 80-year period.
