His mother Jane was an enslaved black woman held by the Burroughs and his father was a white planter who lived nearby. After the American Civil War ended, Jane took her children to West Virginia to rejoin her husband, who had been sold there as a slave before the war. The Booker T. Washington National Monument, established in 1956, preserves portions of the 207-acre (0.84 km2) tobacco plantation where Washington was born. It interprets his life as a national leader. Hale's Ford is also the site of one of Virginia's historic covered bridges and of the Hook–Powell–Moorman Farm, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
