Ferry Plantation House, or Old Donation Farm, Ferry Farm, Walke Manor House,[3][5] is a brick house in the neighborhood of Old Donation Farm in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The site dates back to 1642 when Savill Gaskin started the second ferry service in Hampton Roads to carry passengers on the Lynnhaven River to the nearby county courthouse and to visit plantations along the waterway.[4][6][7] A cannon was used to signal the ferry, which had 11 total stops along the river.[8] The first ferry service was started nearby by Adam Thoroughgood.[citation needed]
The house, which is reputedly haunted by 11 spirits,[8] has been used as a plantation, courthouse, school, and post office. It is currently a museum and educational center.[9] A Summer History Camp, which educates youths about life in the 18th and 19th centuries, is also held on the site.[10]
