When

Oct. 4, 2025. 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Join our staff for a guided tour of Mulberry Hill, the plantation home of Judge Paul Carrington, Virginian and Founding Father. Mulberry Hill was also a working tobacco farm owned by the McPhails during the American Civil War. This month's theme will be in celebration of Independence Day and center around Judge Paul Carrington and the many ways he helped Virginia, and the nation, gain independence. You will also be able to see the stark contrast of the dependencies including the enslaved quarter kitchen/laundry duplex directly behind the "big house," and explore in conversation the roles of the enslaved supporting the operation. Also, take note of Carrington's newly restored law office during your visit.

Tours will begin promptly at 12 p.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m. Each tour will start on the front porch of the house and will be approximately 35 minutes in length. Park rangers will be available for questions and additional information following each tour.

These tours will include stairs and uneven ground. Pets are NOT permitted inside the house. These tours are FREE and require no reservations. Please call (434) 454-4312 for more information.
