Tour The Homes Click these links to view each home: 803 South Main Street The Burgandine House is considered the oldest home in Culpeper, built in 1749 as a log cabin. The landmark now stands on part of the original Spotswood tract that was sold in 1750 to Robert Coleman, then to General Edward Stevens, then to Dr. Marcus Black in 1774. According to local lore, this structure was used as a tavern during the American Revolution. The house doubled in size during the Victorian Period, and in 1963 Louise P. Donovan donated one section to the Town of Culpeper, and later, Elizabeth Burgandine Coons gave the second lot to the Town. The Culpeper Historical Society undertook a full restoration of the house in the early 1990s, and now the house is open daily as part of the Museum of Culpeper History's public programming. During this year's Holiday Tour of Homes, Colonial reenactors will be stationed in this wonderful structure. Come and see what they're up to in the cozy house. The Museum will be decorated with greenery donated by the Glengary Tree Farm, A&R Tree Farm, and Oak Shade Farm. Return to top |
