Home Page About Sherwood Watch it Evolve Ghosts ... Xperts, Inc. National Historic Landmark National Register of Historic Places Virginia Historic Landmark Sherwood Forest Plantation was the home of the 10th U.S. President John Tyler from 1842 until his death in 1862. Sherwood Forest Plantation has been the continuous residence of the Tyler family since the President purchased it in 1842. Known to be the longest frame house in America, it is over 300 feet long. Elegantly furnished with Tyler's possessions, it reflects the lifestyle of this mid-19th century Presidential family. Beautifully wooded landscape and 12 dependencies surround President Tyler's home. Sherwood Forest Plantation's grounds are open 9:00 am-5:00 pm daily. Located on State Rt. 5, 14501 John Tyler Highway, Charles City, VA. 30 minutes from Williamsburg and 45 minutes from Richmond. 804/282-1441. 3 miles west of the courthouse in Charles City County - Tyler Country. John Tyler was the first vice president to ascend to the presidency upon the death of 9th President, William Henry Harrison, who ironically, once owned Sherwood Forest Plantation for a time in the late 1700s. The plantation, first recorded in a 1616 land grant, was originally known as Smith's Hundred. The house, circa 1720, is a classic example of Virginia Tidewater design: big house, little house, colonnade, and kitchen. Harrison inherited part of the current Sherwood Forest plantation property in the late 18th century. It had several owners before Tyler purchased the home and its surrounding 1,600 acres in 1842. He bought the plantation from his cousin, Collier Minge, while he was still in the White House and renamed the plantation "Sherwood Forest" referring to his reputation as a political outlaw.

John Tyler John Tyler Dubbed "His Accidency" by his detractors, John Tyler was the first Vice President to be elevated to the office of President by the death of his predecessor. Born in Virginia in 1790, he was raised believing that the Constitution must be strictly construed. He never wavered from this conviction. He attended the College of William and Mary and studied law. Serving in the House of Representatives from 1816 to 1821, Tyler voted against most nationalist legislation and opposed the Missouri Compromise. After leaving the House he served twice as Governor of Virginia. As a Senator he reluctantly supported Jackson for President as a choice of evils. Tyler soon joined the states' rights Southerners in Congress who banded with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and their newly formed Whig party opposing President Jackson. President Bush Biography Vice President Cheney Biography Laura Bush Biography Lynne Cheney Biography The Whigs nominated Tyler for Vice President in 1840, hoping for support from southern states'-righters who could not stomach Jacksonian Democracy. The slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" implied flagwaving nationalism plus a dash of southern sectionalism.

Home Page About Sherwood Watch it Evolve Ghosts ... Xperts, Inc. More About Sherwood Forest and John Tyler John Tyler's 1841-1845 presidential term was the pinnacle of an active political and legal career. He was twice Governor of Virginia, a U.S. Senator, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, a Virginia state senator and member of the Virginia House of Delegates. A graduate of The College of William and Mary, he later became Chancellor of that institution. As a supporter of state's rights, he re-entered public service in 1861 as an elected member of the Confederate Congress of the Confederate States of America. Sherwood Forest survived the Civil War in 1864 when Union soldiers damaged the house and its furnishings, as testified by marks on woodwork and doors, and scars on a French Empire table used by President Tyler in the White House. Also unique to the house is the legend of a ghost, known as the Gray Lady, who has been heard rocking in the Gray Room for more than 200 years. The home contains furnishings, heirlooms, silver and paintings which belonged to President Tyler and his family. Greek Revival features, added by the President and his young bride, Julia Gardiner, are evidenced by lattice, columns, and pilasters on the porches while cornices, mantles and carved medallions grace the formal rooms of the house.

The Whigs had chosen Tyler not for his policies, but to draw support from the south. A month into his term, Harrison died and Tyler was president. By the end of his term, neither the Whigs nor the Democrats supported him, and he chose not to run for re-election. He was succeeded by Democrat James K. Polk . At the time of his death, Tyler was a member of the Confederate Congress, in revolt against the United States. Extra credit : First Lady Letitia Tyler died in the White House in 1842.

Although affiliated with the Episcopal church, he did not take "a denominational approach to God," according to his biographer (Robert Seager II, and Tyler too: A Biography of John and Julia Gardiner Tyler , p. 109). Tyler was a strong supporter of religious tolerance and separation of church and state. Quotations: "The intolerant spirit manifested against Catholics, as exhibited in the burning of their churches, etc., will so soon as the thing becomes fairly considered, arouse a strong feeling of dissatisfaction the part of a large majority of the American people; for if there is one principle of higher import with them than any other, it is the principle of religious freedom." letter to Robert Tyler, 19 May 1856 Books Articles Links Books Works by John Tyler ed. by Lyon G.

JOHN TYLER 10th President (1841-1845) The institutions under which we live, my countrymen, secure each person in the perfect enjoyment of all his rights. - Inaugural address, 1841 Tippecanoe and Tyler, too !! That seems to be the beginning and the end of the American public's awareness of President John Tyler. Which is a shame, because this tall Virginia gentleman has much to teach us about how to serve as President with integrity and principles. And couldn't we use a little more of that these days ? Born in Charles City County, Virginia in 1790, John Tyler served as Congressman, Senator and Governor of Virginia before being chosen as William Henry Harrison's Vice Presidential running mate in 1840. General Harrison had won the Battle of Tippecanoe against Tecumseh's impressive Native American forces, and the "Tippecanoe" slogan became the centerpiece of the Whigs' 1840 campaign. Tyler had actually been a member of the Democrat party until 1833, when he had to leave the party because he dared to oppose Andrew Jackson's programs. For whatever reason, the Whigs chose the independent Tyler to run with "Ol' Tippecanoe", never dreaming of what would follow. After winning the election, President Harrison gave a long-winded inaugural speech (the longest ever) in a cold March rain, caught pneumonia and died exactly one month later, after having served the shortest time of any President before or since. The Whigs were now stuck with Tyler, the first President ever to come to office by constitutional succession, who had not exhibited any deep allegiance to Whig principles. Almost immediately, things began to unravel.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History TYLER, JOHN , tenth president of the United States. Tyler was the first to ascend from the vice presidency through the accident of a chief executive's death. "His Accidency" was also only the second politician to switch parties before attaining the White House and the first to be driven from his party before departing Pennsylvania Avenue. Yet this partisan without a party and chief executive with almost no followers scored a presidential triumph so portentous as to make him one of the most important American presidents. Tyler believed that these paradoxes stemmed from his devout adherence to states' rights. Born and bred to be a Virginia gentleman of the old school, he was educated at William and Mary, studied law, and swiftly ascended in state politics. He served successively in the Virginia House of Delegates, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the governorship of Virginia before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1827. Tyler's senatorial tenure coincided with Andrew Jackson's presidency. Tyler, seeking a less imperial president and a stronger states' rights policy, joined a small group of Jacksonians who deserted the fold and eventually became known as southern states' rights Whigs. In 1836, the Jacksonian-controlled Virginia legislature demanded and secured the recreant's senatorial resignation.

Entries Publication Data Dedication Advisory Board ... World Civilizations The Great American History Fact-Finder Tyler, John , tenth president of the United States . Tyler served in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat, as governor of Virginia, and as a U.S. senator from Virginia. In 1840 he became the Whig party 's vice-presidential candidate with presidential nominee William Henry Harrison. When Harrison died April 4, 1841, after serving only one month, Tyler became the first vice president to succeed to the presidency because of the death of a president. During his administration the Webster-Ashburton Treaty was negotiated between the United States and Canada, and Texas was annexed in 1845. Tyler used the president's veto power to block many of the Whigs' domestic programs, and because of his opposition to Whig policies, he was not renominated for president in 1844.
