Barton Hall, also known as the Cunningham Plantation, is an antebellum plantation built for Armstead Barton in the 1840s near present day Cherokee, Alabama. At the time of construction it was located near the town of Buzzard Roost and the Natchez Trace. cite web | url=http://www.rootsweb.com/~alcolber/hist-bartonhall.htm | title = Colbert County History / Barton Hall | Author = Fred Smoot | accessdate = 2007-06-19 ] The home has remained a private residence since construction and is currently not open to the public. The home is located just south of US 72 on Cedar Lane. The National Park Service's National Historic Landmark site notes the home as an unusually sophisticated Greek Revival style plantation house with small Doric entrance and limestone-paved rear courtyard. The house features a prominent spiral stairway.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/73000337.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Barton Hall / Cunningham Plantation] |213 KB|author=W.
