Oak Grove is a historic plantation house located near Altavista, Campbell County, Virginia. It was built in stages between the 1750s and 1833. The oldest section is a two-story dog-trot log structure built around 1750. The house was enlarged in 1784, and completed around 1833 by adding a west wing. It is a two-story, three bay structure containing a large hall and a parlor on the first floor and a stair hall and two bedrooms on the second in the Federal style. Also on the property are a contributing smokehouse, a slave quarter, a grain shed, a hay barn, and a privy as well as the remains of a kitchen and an icehouse.
