Preservation Virginia acquired Bacon’s Castle in the 1970s. After extensive research and restoration, the house was opened to the public in 1983. Throughout the season, Bacon’s Castle hosts many special events for families as well as academic symposiums and hands-on workshops. On weekends, visitors to the house can enjoy a guided tour of the interior of the house, a self-guided tour of the grounds, outbuildings, gardens, or browse the museum store. A cell phone tour is available dawn to dusk on days when the site is not open to the public.
