Bacon's Castle

"Beautiful & well maintained property! According to Google, this is the oldest house in Virginia! Nearly 360 years old! Absolutely amazing!!!!! We went before they opened and enjoyed walking around and taking pictures outside. Birds and bees were lovely."

"Giving this location 4 stars because of the journey to get there as we were not actually able to go inside, yes sadness! But, taking the Jamestown-Stockton ferry over the Jame's River was beautiful, the 20 minute drive or so to Bacons Castle was a beautiful drive thru Surry County. We pulled up the gravel drive to the castle and realized ot was closed. Last tour started at 4pm. But it was so worth the drive."

"It seems every old mansion in Virginia is a museum. This house was originally known as Allen's Brick House. Only after a reporter erroneously referred to it as Bacons Castle was it called Bacons Castle. It is a delightful old home to visit. It is yet another example of how the wealthy lived in the 1600s. Tours are provided, and the guides are very knowledgeable and friendly."

"Very interesting tour of a historical landmark. The tour guide was great, and she did a wonderful job answering questions. Very interesting story behind this historical home. We were able to walk the grounds and see several other historical out buildings and the garden. Glad we stopped in."
