The Chinqua Penn Plantation is a historic English manor home located in Reidsville, North Carolina. It was constructed in the 1920s by Thomas Jefferson Penn and his wife, Margaret Beatrice Shoellkopf Penn. The name 'Chinqua Penn' originates from the chinquapin, a type of American chestnut that was once abundant in the region. This manor is considered one of North Carolina's finest well-preserved early 20th century homes.
The Chinqua Penn Plantation, including its house and gardens, was once open to the public for tours. However, the plantation ceased offering tours on March 17, 2012. Despite this, the historical significance and architectural beauty of the plantation continue to attract interest.
Adjacent to the Chinqua Penn Plantation is a farmland that is currently being used as an experimental agricultural station by North Carolina State University. This provides a unique opportunity to observe ongoing agricultural research and practices in the region.
