The Queen Hith Plantation Complex Site is a historic archaeological site in the Oakland Farm area of Newport News, Virginia. It is the site of the central complex of Thomas Harwood's extensive plantation, established some time after his arrival at Jamestown in 1622. The plantation was about 1500acres in size, and extended along both banks of Skiffe's Creek.[1] The site includes the foundational remnants of his 1643 house.[2]
In modern times, the site is owned by the City of Newport News and is not open to the public.[3]
