The home that stands there now was built in the early 1800s.

Golden Hills fell in Lunenburg County in 1746 and in Charlotte County in 1765.
Bouldin was active in county affairs and served in the French and Indian War.
===
After the death of Thomas Bouldin, Sr. in 1783, a property division left the Golden Hills home to son, Wood Bouldin.
After the death in 1800 of Major Wood Bouldin, a Revolutionary War Veteran, Golden Hills passed into the hands of his widow, Joanna.
In 1815, she transferred the home to her son Thomas Tyler Bouldin.
Thomas Tyler Bouldin was reared in a setting of music, culture, and education and became a highly respected lawyer and judge.
Golden Hills by 1847 passed to Thomas Tyler Bouldin, Jr., lawyer and educator.
Thomas Tyler Bouldin operated Golden Hills Academy for several years, beginning in 1853.
Golden Hills saw various structural changes.
Upon the death in 1891 of Thomas Tyler Bouldin, Jr., the home and surrounding farm passed to his widow, Fannie Bouldin, who enjoyed a lifetime right to the place.
Upon her passing, it went to the "unmarried daughters".
The daughters lived away from the home so their brother Claiborne Bouldin continued to live there and served as caretaker.
===
In 1976, family papers and books went to The Virginia Historical Society.
Colonial Williamsburg purchased Joanna Tyler Bouldins' spinet piano.
===
Thomas and Ann Bouldins' great grandson, Powhatan Bouldin was the author of the book "The Old Trunk", which chronicles the lives of Col. Thomas Bouldin and all the Bouldin family in and about Charlotte County, VA.
===
