Black Meadow is a historic plantation house and farm complex located near Gordonsville, Orange County, Virginia. The house was built in 1856, and is a 1 1/2-story, three-bay, Greek Revival style dwelling with a front gable roof. It was renovated in 1916, with the addition of a two-story wood frame ell and realignment of interior spaces. Also on the property are the contributing milk house (c. 1916), (slave) tenant quarters (c. 1856), a dairy barn (c. 1943), a bent barn/stable (c. 1856), a multiuse barn/shed (c. 1856), and a tenant house (c. 1943).
Black Meadow was one of the outlying farms owned and cultivated by James and Dolley Madison, whose Montpelier home lies just a few miles northwest.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
The farm, known since the mid-1970's as Wolf Trap Farm, is now operated as a wedding and events venue and four homes on the farm are available as vacation rentals.
