Excellent place to tour. Cody was our host for the evening. He was extremely informative of the history of the house and Grace Sherwood (Pungo Witch) and very entertaining.

Ferry Plantation House is rather interesting. It sits in the middle of what is now a subdivision along the banks of the Lynnhaven River. You can schedule a tour ahead of time. The pricing is by group size, not per person. The tours are given by volunteers who are very knowledgeable.

This house and site are a must see if you are interested in local Virginia Beach history, especially if you want to learn more about Grace Sherwood. The site is back in a residential neighborhood but is easy to get to and has adequate parking. The grounds are free to tour but the house requires advance tickets and hours/days are limited. Definitely worth the trip for local and tourists alike.

This is a really neat place to visit, so much history! Lots of unique vintage items can be found throughout the house, and the tours are amazing. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and you learn something different every time you visit. The story of how the Witchduck area got its name is neat, just ask the guides to fill you in. Annual membership is a bargain to help preserve this historical gem, and you get a really nice, lengthy newsletter filled with more interesting info about the house and it's prior inhabitants. Hoping one day to see one of the many ghosts that are said to haunt here. If you're a history buff and want to learn more about the area, or like historical houses and antiques, this is a great place to visit year-round.

An awesome tour, chandelier started shaking and no one was moving that made the hair rise on our arms. With 11 known spirits and 1 cat it's possible to have an encounter. Most of the house felt relatively normal but the upstairs bedroom to the left there wasn't a good vibe coming from that room. I'd say definitely worth the tour and if you get an opportunity to stay the night, it'd be once in a lifetime.
