Aaron Burr Treason Trial Tour

Join the Valentine and the John Marshall House for a special 250th-anniversary edition of the Aaron Burr Treason Trial Tours. In the summer of 1807, the national spotlight landed on Richmond’s Court End neighborhood as Chief Justice John Marshall deliberated the fate of accused traitor Aaron Burr. Learn about the intrigue of the Burr Conspiracy, the scandalous “Feast of Treason” hosted by John Wickham, and the lasting impact of this monumental trial. This two-hour experience will begin at the John Marshall House before continuing onto the 1812 home of John Wickham, a key member of Burr’s defense team. Your joint ticket includes admission to both of these Court End landmarks.

Advanced tickets are required. Tickets are non-refundable.
