Scotchtown is situated in a beautiful and rural park-like setting with multiple buildings. Scotchtown's staff is friendly and ready to help however they can. For example, staff can help open and close any doors, help you find quiet areas if needed, etc. There are folding chairs with a backrest available throughout the property that are available to use. If you need one and do not see any, you may request one. Staff can be reached at (804) 227-3500 if there is not a staff member nearby. Scotchtown is best known as the home of Patrick Henry during the tumultuous years leading up to the American Revolution. It was at Scotchtown that he formulated the ideas of his famous “Liberty or Death” speech and it was from the house that he rode to St. John’s Church in Richmond on March 23, 1775, to deliver it. Visitors can explore the grounds, listen to a cell phone tour, shop in the museum store, or participate in one of the site’s many special events.
