Bacon's Castle

Bacon’s castle is *kind of* off the beaten path. But the drive out is SO worth it. We weren’t able to go to the sister locations, but it was the neatest and most personable tour of our whole time in Williamsburg. Driving the ferry over was a delight. Our tour guide was excellent, and did a fabulous job sharing the history of Bacon’s castle. You NEED to include this in your Williamsburg trip. We tacked it on after visiting Jamestown settlement/ historic Jamestown. Biggest tip-wait and buy the tickets in person, Incase there are delays with the ferry. 🤪

Beautiful. We took the guided tour. Our guide was excellent. She knew the history very well. She explained why is was called Bacon Castle and told us all about the Bacon Rebellion. She was able to answer all of our questions. It has a beautiful garden. I suggest that you buy the Preservation Virginia pass before you go. It allows you to tour for free. The pass allows you a discount in the gift shop as well.They also offer a military discount.

Be careful, the GPS will tell you to turn at the first left, but the Castle is the second left. Otherwise, Preservation Virginia has done a fantastic job preserving the oldest brick building in North America. Sadly, they are missing a grand opportunity to sell Bacons' Castle bacon.

We have toured a tremendous number of historic homes in Virginia. Worth going if you want to cross it off your list. Some interesting stories and the oldest brick structure in the northern hemisphere if I'm getting that right? No real negatives. Just not as impressive as others.
