Adam Thoroughgood House
A late-17th-century brick farmhouse, one of Virginia's oldest surviving colonial-era homes, with a restored colonial-style garden and interior furnishings.
The Adam Thoroughgood House was built around 1719 (older accounts say the mid-17th century). It is a small brick farmhouse named after the Thoroughgood family, early colonists on the Lynnhaven River, and is listed as a National Historic Landmark. The interior is furnished in the colonial style, and behind the house is a restored colonial-style garden. Guided tours explain the lives of early settlers. The house is small in scale, suited to visitors interested in colonial history. Admission is about $10.
