Mulberry Island, also known as Hawk's Nest and Penn Farm, is a historic plantation house in Stoneville, North Carolina near the Dan River. The house was built before 1850. Nathaniel Scales (1756-1824), left Mulberry Island to his son, Alfred Moore Scales, upon his death. It adjoined Deep Springs Plantation on the Dan River, which was home to another one of Nathaniel Scales' sons, James Madison Scales. Nathaniel Scales' daughter inherited another nearby farm, High Rock Farm. Mulberry Island also became the home of North Carolina Chief Justice and United States Minister to Peru, Thomas B. Settle, II. In 1930 the farm was purchased by Charlie Penn of Reidsville, North Carolina who remodeled the house.
