It has been a working farm since the mid-18th century.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the property preserves the image of a prosperous 1840s Shenandoah Valley plantation complex, with a regionally distinctive Greek Revival house and largely original interior woodwork. It was also a scene of action in the Battle of Port Republic on June 9, 1862. Archaeological sites, including a possible slave burial ground and an early settler site, may yield further information.","narrative":"Bogota is a farm complex in southeastern Rockingham County, Virginia, near Port Republic, where agriculture has continued since the mid-18th century. Its centerpiece is a ten-room brick house built 1845-47 in a regional Greek Revival style, with stepped-parapet gable ends, a two-story pedimented portico and staggered Flemish bond on the front wall. Inside, most original woodwork survives, including bold country mantels in the double parlors and English-made Carpenter patent locks. Nearby stand two slave dwellings, a smokehouse, a bank barn, a log tenant house and a garden site, along with archaeological sites that include a suspected slave cemetery and an artifact scatter possibly linked to the first settler, Gabriel Jones. The farm lies within the core of the Port Republic Battlefield. Fighting on June 9, 1862, passed across the river bottomlands in view of the house, and a family diary records shells landing nearby and soldiers searching the buildings. The open, little-changed landscape adds to its value.","period_of_significance":"1845-c.1920","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th-century Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C","D"],"status_note":"The main house is described as maintained in immaculate condition and the farm is still in agricultural and residential use; a few outbuildings are modern replacements.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.482881-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/3/6835/41683503/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/09000162.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000162/0646015d29-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000162/0646015d29-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bogota_farmhouse_through_the_trees.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bogota_farmhouse_through_the_trees.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41683503","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogota_(Port_Republic,_Virginia)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15202666"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/rockingham-county/bogota-09000162/"}
