Riversdale, a National Historic Landmark, is a restored, five-part, stucco-covered brick plantation home built between 1801 and 1807.

The Federal style mansion has particularly fine interior decorative detail. Numerous nationally significant figures later lived there. Riversdale was also home to the Plummer Family. The museum is open to the public for docent-guided tours and for a variety of special events.
