About the Business
The Dudley Digges House, circa 1760, is a historic institution located at 605 Main Street in Yorktown, Virginia, within the Colonial National Historical Park. This home belonged to Dudley Digges, a prominent figure in Virginia history who served in the Virginia Assembly and was captured by the British during the Revolutionary War. The house was damaged during the fighting at Yorktown, leading Digges to move to Williamsburg where he passed away in 1790. Local legend suggests that Digges's first wife, Martha, who died in childbirth while living in the house, still haunts the premises. The Digges House was restored in 1960, with outbuildings reconstructed by the National Park Service in the 1970s. While not open to the public, the house is currently used as an office for park employees. Visit the Historical Buildings of Yorktown web page for a map of the area.
