Locust Hill was built on land patented by Robert Lewis in 1740, of which he gave 1,900 acres in 1757 to his son William, upon which he built his home. Locust Hill is located just a few miles north-west of Charlottesville, just off of Three Notched Road (present day Route 250) in the town of Ivy. We assume it was named for the property’s many locust trees, the descendants of which can be seen today.
Locust Hill is privately owned today, having passed out of the family’s hands in 1892. It can be found about seven miles west of Charlottesville, just off of Route 250 in the town of Ivy. A Virginia Historical Highway Marker number W 181 is located on Route 250, providing directions to the birthplace of Meriwether Lewis.
