Notes: The organ was given to the Baptist Church in Reidsville in 1955, but later returned to the residence and restored 1994-1996 by Capt. Ron Hodges and John Leighton. The plantation was given to North Carolina State University and run by the state until 1990. The plantation was sold in 2006 to Calvin Phelps, owner of Renegade Tobacco Co., and is once again open for tours.
