Bremo, also known as Bremo Plantation or Bremo Historic District, included Lower Bremo and Bremo Recess, and is a plantation near Bremo Bluff, Virginia. The building at Upper Bremo may have been designed by Thomas Jefferson, as it follows his design style closely.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/69000241.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Bremo Recess, and Lower Bremo (Bremo Historic District) / Bremo] |32 KB|date=August 21, 1971 |author=W.
