Peyton Randolph House

"Had a great tour guide. He gave us a ton of info on the family. Also took a picture of the front of the house. Didn't realize it was a haunted place till days later. When zoomed in on the picture, i noticed the figure in the bottom window left side. So cool"

"Good balance of info about the Randolphs and the enslaved people who lived here. On my ghost tour we were told it's haunted."

"Our tour guide was a little off his game but still very knowledgeable, overall the house is very cool. We did a ghost tour the night before and it mentioned how the Peyton Randolph House was the most haunted place in Virginia and maybe even the United States. Historic Williamsburg is a very cool place to visit in general but the stores are extremely overpriced and offer very few unique items besides the silver smith goods. The price of admission is included in the overall Colonial Williamsburg admission which covers most of the other historic buildings. Give yourself all day to do these tours."

"The interpreters were brilliant here: so much knowledge & genuine interest in their individual presentation topic. The house was stunning and prompted as many questions as it answered. The only odd exchange came when I asked the African Amercan woman who was gardening about the plants she was tending. Instead of answering me, she began questioning me, turning strangely aggressive about slavery. Perhaps the interpreters should remember & appreciate that we guests are there to learn. This experience was made stranger and horribly ironic when I arrived at the Visitor Center gift shop to see "Eve", a doll representing a real-life Randolph House runaway slave...for sale."

"Awesome home of Peyton Randolph. It's one of the larger homes in Williamsburg, a smaller plantation-farm home of the time. I'm assuming due to Covid19, and lack of staff, they weren't able to get the inside open in time for business so I'll have to wait for another time to see that. However, the back end of the property was open and you're able to explore some of the slave quarters as they were focused on telling that side of the story this week. The living historians here was great, we talked to them for a good half hour each, as they told us about the daily lives of those whom were enslaved here and how they survived. Great informative living historians and staff that taught us somethings we never knew and brought this place alive. Would like to return in the future for an inside tour."
