Belle Plaine is a historic farm property at 2488 South United States Route 15 in rural Madison County, Virginia, south of Locust Dale. The main farmhouse is a five-bay two-story frame structure attached to a somewhat older log structure, finished like the main block in wooden clapboards. The log portion is believed to be one of the oldest surviving structures in the county. The property illustrates the changing trends of agricultural use over more than two centuries.[2]
