The Valentine Museum Store

Explore the Wickham House, a neoclassical-inspired home steps away from the Virginia State Capitol, built between 1812-1815 for Richmond attorney John Wickham and his wife Elizabeth. New England architect Alexander Parris designed the Wickhams’ home to accommodate their large family and the enslaved individuals who lived and labored there. This historic home allows us to tell the complex story of the Wickham family and the home’s enslaved occupants, revealing the realities of urban slavery and life in early 1800s Richmond. The Wickham House was later purchased by Mann S. Valentine II, and in 1898 became the first home of the Valentine Museum. Today, guided, dialogue-based tours focus on the period of Wickham ownership during the early Federal period and include stories of the free and enslaved inhabitants of the home as well as the Wickham family. Tours are available on the hour from 11-4 p.m., Tuesday-Sunday, typically last 45-minutes and are included in Valentine museum admission.

The Wickham House

Join us for a screening of “Patrick Henry’s Scotchtown,” the latest installment in the documentary film series “Historic Homes of Virginia.” This documentary features Professor Michael Spencer and experts from Preservation Virginia to examine Scotchtown during Henry’s years there, including the notes he wrote for his famous “Give me liberty, or give me death!” speech, original construction details, the lives of the enslaved people who lived and worked there and how historic Mutual Assurance policies helped guide the property’s restoration.

  
About the series: Virginia’s historic homes reveal their stories through both architecture and the records left behind. For more than two centuries, Mutual Assurance Society of Virginia policies have documented many of these properties, preserving details that can help historians and preservationists understand how they changed over time. The film series “Historic Homes of Virginia” brings those records together with the people, places and stories that shaped some of the Commonwealth’s most significant homes.  
This program is presented in partnership with Mutual Assurance, which produced the series.

This is a free event, but registration is required. For more information, contact education@lva.virginia.gov.
