Beaver Dam Plantation House (National Register of Historic Places)
Built in 1829, Beaver Dam was home to Major William Lee Davidson II and his wife, Betsy Lee Davidson. The plantation lands eventually encompassed 785 acres and had 25 to 30 hands. The plantation included the house, a large garden, a smokehouse, a chicken house, and slave quarters. After Betsy Davidson's death in 1845, the house went out of the Davidson family for almost one hundred years. It was purchased in 1937 by Chalmers Gaston Davidson, a collateral descendent of William Lee and Library Director and history professor at Davidson College. It was listed as a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Site in 1977 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In 1998, Davidson College purchased the house and eight acres of adjoining lands and leased it to the Town of Davidson as a public park.
