Buckshoal Farm is a historic home and tobacco farm located near Omega in Halifax County, Virginia. Typical of early homes in the area, which were expanded in various architectural styles during the previous 150 years, it is best known as the birthplace, favorite retreat and eventual death location of Virginia Governor and later U.S. Congressman William M. Tuck, who called it by this name (after Buckshoal Creek on the property), although his father called it "Valley Home". It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, four years after Tuck's death.
