The Carter Plantation was a tobacco plantation in Wentworth, North Carolina. The plantation was founded by Thomas Carter III, a descendant of American colonist and Puritan minister Rev. Thomas Carter, who received a land grant for three-hundred acres in Rockingham County when he settled in North Carolina after leaving Massachusetts in the late 18th century. The original house, a large Federal style dwelling, was vacated in 1930 and was destroyed shortly after. What remains of the plantation, including two log houses, a tenant farmer's cabin, and a cemetery for family members and enslaved persons, is located off of North Carolina Highway 65.
