Ebenezer Coffin, born in Boston in 1763, received 1120 acres and 63 chattel slaves from his father-in-law and had the house built on the property.^[2]

It is estimated that the home was built around 1801, and like many early 19th century homes in the area, features a tabby foundation. One of the home's more striking features is the one-half mile avenue of oaks that leads to the home.

In 1862, during the Civil War, 260 people were recorded as being enslaved on the plantation.^[2]

James Donald Cameron, a Republican U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania and former Secretary of War bought the plantation house in the early 1890s.^[3] Henry Adams described his visits to the Camerons at the plantation in his book The Education of Henry Adams.^[4]

The plantation was placed in the National Historic Register on August 28, 1975.
