Bacon’s Castle
Bacon’s Castle is the oldest brick dwelling in North America and was built for Arthur Allen and his family in 1665. Originally known as Allen’s Brick House, it earned the moniker “Bacon’s Castle” in 1676 when several of Nathaniel Bacon’s men occupied the home for four months during the uprising that became known as Bacon’s Rebellion.
Bacon’s Castle is a rare example of High Jacobean architecture. The home features a reconstructed 17th-century English formal garden restored by the Garden Club of Virginia. Several outbuildings also survive, including an 1830 slave dwelling.
Preservation Virginia acquired Bacon’s Castle in the 1970’s at auction and meticulously researched, restored and furnished the house in the 1980’s.

Self-Led Walking Tours
Go on a self-led tour around Suffolk using the Traipse app!
Traipse is a free smartphone application that leads users on a walking tour of landmarks and local businesses, or in non-urban settings on a driving tour of cultural heritage and agri-tourism sites. At each stop on a Traipse tour, users get some information about that site and are challenged with a location-dependent riddle or puzzle to solve. Traipse “gamifies” the experience of visiting a tourist attraction or leisure destination, or attending an event – much like Fitbit gamifies exercise or Pokemon Go facilitates collecting virtual artifacts in real world locations – while also involving local businesses and organizations.
