In recent years, Endview has attracted paranormal enthusiasts who believe the plantation house is haunted by Confederate general John B. In 1985, Endview was acquired by the City of Newport News, which restored the historic plantation to its original configuration. From all indications, the property has attracted hunters, farmers and soldiers for over 3,000 years. Archeological evidence has shown that the later Woodland/Riverine tribes, popularly known as the Powhatan Confederation, seasonally occupied the area up to the time of the English settlement at Jamestown in 1607. The inviting location, with its abundance of game and fresh water, had attracted bands of Native Americans as early as 1,200 BC. Surrounded by prime farmland, the house is situated atop a little knoll with a spring at the base. Endview was designated as a Virginia Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The property also has been used for military reenactments, including events related to the 225th anniversary of the Siege of Yorktown which was held in 2006. Located at 362 Yorktown Road on Virginia State Route 238 in the Lee Hall community northwest of Newport News, Virginia, it was situated along the Great Warwick Road, which linked the colonial capital of Williamsburg with the town of Hampton on the harbor of Hampton Roads. Endview, which was built in 1769, was used as a hospital during the Civil War and as a campground during the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Civil War.
