Historic Jasmine is a wedding and event venue set on a historic property in Providence Forge, Virginia, in New Kent County. The property was originally patented by surveyor and Virginia House of Burgesses member George Morris in 1680, and the current manor house dates to 1750. On October 8, 1781, the house served as a headquarters for General Washington's Revolutionary Army before troops proceeded to Yorktown for the war's decisive final engagement. The Morris family held the land until 1850, and Henry and Matte Brenneman acquired the property in 1918; a mural Matte painted in the front stairwell still adorns the residence today. The Smith family purchased the property in 2005 as a bed and breakfast, hosted their first wedding that October on the Manor House's front porch, and went on to develop the property into a full-time event venue. Historic Jasmine now hosts up to 200 guests across its garden and woodland settings, including the Chapel in the Woods, the Garden Pergola, and a 40-by-60-foot reception tent with an attached pavilion, string lighting, and crystal chandeliers.
