The fort was quickly abandoned due to dry rot and a rat infestation.[4] The same land was later given by Chief Powhatan to John Rolfe as a dowry for the hand of Pocahontas when Rolfe and Pocahontas married. Archaeological surveys of the property have revealed that a number of structures have existed on the property and the present, restored main house was built by Jacob Faulcon in 1751.[6] Smith's Fort Plantation house, 2014 Preservation[edit] ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532661522/ce4eafd4-bded-46cd-b080-046ae9df89a4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![The plantation received its name because it was the location of Captain John Smith's "New Fort," built in 1609, located directly across the James River from the Jamestown colony.
