We close to the public on October 12, 2007

The Flowerdew Hundred museum is housed in an original c.1850 schoolhouse. Extensive exhibits highlight various aspects of the plantation's history and over 25 years of archaeolgical exploration. Museum exhibits showcase artifacts from Native American, Colonial, Antebellum, and Civil War sites; while "hands-on" displays demonstrate diverse subjects, such as methods of grinding food and the natural history of Flowerdew Hundred. Visitors to the museum can also tour a replicated 1820 detached kitchen, with exhibits that explore domestic slave life. Conclude your tour with a guided interpretive drive of more than four miles of riverfront, taking you past historic and former archaeological sites, the site of Grant's Crossing, and Flowerdew's unique commemorative windmill.

The museum is open daily, Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with the last tour at 2:00 p.m. This will allow for the last tour to be completed by 4:00 p.m. so that we may reconcile the musuem store receipts by 4:30 p.m.
