Evergreen, one of the James River Plantations is a historic plantation house located just east of Hopewell, in Prince George County, Virginia. It was built about 1807 by planter, George Ruffin, and is a two-story, five-bay, Late Georgian / Federal style stuccoed brick dwelling. It sits on a high basement and has a hipped roof. The front facade features a one-story pedimented Doric order portico set on a brick podium.

The house was extensively renovated in the late-1930s, after prior use as a barn and stable.Evergreen was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
