Peyton Randolph House

The Peyton Randolph House was home to one of Virginia's most prominent colonial families. Peyton Randolph served as the first president of the Continental Congress. The house, dating to the 1710s, is among the oldest original buildings in Colonial Williamsburg.

The house's paranormal reputation includes a man in colonial dress rocking by the fireplace, footsteps crossing the upper floor when rooms are empty, and visitors reporting sudden nausea or dizziness in specific rooms. Some investigations have claimed to capture EVPs of colonial-era conversation.

The house is part of Colonial Williamsburg's historic area. Access may be limited to exterior viewing or included in specific ticket tiers. Check the Colonial Williamsburg website for current access. The surrounding historic area is walkable and well-serviced.
