Mount Athos (Kelly, Virginia)


Mount Athos is a historic archaeological site located at Kelly, Campbell County, Virginia. It consists of a stone ruin atop a wooded ridge overlooking the James River. The plantation house was built about 1800 for William J.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
