Sotterley was a tobacco plantation built by James Bowles in 1717.  It was originally called Resurrection Manor.  The plantation fell into the hands of the Plater Family through marriage.  They renamed it Sotterley after their ancestral home in Suffolk, England. 

Sotterley was a major port of entry in the 1700's with its own customhouse. Sotterley Plantation was inherited by Mabel Satterlee Ingalls in 1947, who set up a historic trust and opened the Plantation to the public in 1961. Visitors can tour the manor house and gardens, view the 11 outbuildings, which include a school, smokehouse, tobacco barn, and slave cabin.
