About the James Geddy House
The James Geddy House, located at 117 West Duke of Gloucester Street in Williamsburg, Virginia, is a popular tourist attraction. In the eighteenth century, the Geddy house was a bustling home filled with children playing and learning. Originally from Scotland, the Geddy family settled in Virginia where James Geddy Sr. was a skilled gunsmith who also worked with iron and brass. After his passing, his son James Geddy Jr. built the home that still stands today and operated a successful silversmith and jewelry business there. The house is a historical landmark where visitors can learn about the family's history and explore the gardens of John Custis IV. Additionally, guests can visit the first American hospital dedicated to treating mental illness. Visitors can support the preservation of this historic site by renewing their membership or making a donation.
