Overview
Woodburn, also known as Woodbourne, is a historic plantation house located near Charles City in Charles City County, Virginia. It is a heritage site and not a commercial brand, company, product, or trademarked offering. The house was built about 1815 by John Tyler, who later served as the tenth President of the United States. The property was purchased by John Tyler in 1813 when he married Letitia Christian, and he resided there until 1821, later selling it to his brother Wat H. Tyler in 1831. The Palladian house is a three-part frame structure with a tall, two-story, three-bay central section and two low one-story wings. The property also includes a contributing one-story frame office (c. 1830) and an original smokehouse. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Because the subject is a historic dwelling rather than a commercial entity, no brand dossier can be produced.
