Long a familiar landmark on Halifax County's historic and scenic River Road, Carter's Tavern is a handsomely restored example of an early southern Virginia ordinary. With virtually all of its original interior fabric intact, the venerable frame building provides a rare picture of the character and arrangement of this once common Virginia institution. An outstanding feature of the tavern is the great quantity of well-preserved grained and marbelized woodwork, some of which is unusually ornate.
The building's earliest portion is the one-and-a-half-story wing, probably erected before 1773 by Joseph Dodson. Licenses issued in 1802 and 1804 indicate that Dodson's younger son, Joseph, Jr., operated an ordinary there in what was also his residence. In 1807 Dodson sold the
building and 67 acres to Samuel Carter. Carter is believed to have enlarged the building to its present size by tearing down part of the Dodson house and erecting the two-story main section. In any case, the enlarged building enabled Carter to operate an overnight stage stop. The earliest recorded license issued to him, in 1821, authorized Carter to keep "a house of private entertainment" a this residence. His license was renewed in 1824, 1829, 1830, 1833, 1834, and 1835.
Following Carter's death in 1836 his wife, Elizabeth, [Elizabeth 'Betsy' Holcombe (nee Cocke)] took over operation of the establishment. As the River Road was a lap on the main stage road between New York and New Orleans, Carter ' s Tavern remained an important stopping place. "Betsy" Carter continued as proprietress of the tavern until her death in 1843, at which time it was permanently closed. In 1860 Samuel Carter's son, Philemon, sold the property to Dr. Thomas Haynie. The Haynie family owned it u n t i l 1898 when the building and 150 acres was sold to Mrs. Martha E. Reaves. After the Reaves family sold the property in 1941 it passed through various owners until 1972 when the derelict, decaying building was acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Edmunds, of Halifax County
and Greensboro, North Carolina. The Edmunds munificently undertook a thorough restoration of the building for no other reason than to preserve it. -CCL
Handsomely furnished, Carter's Tavern is now made available for special tours and meetings.
