Redhill - Patrick Henry's home and burial site

The bronze bust of Patrick Henry is a replica of the one sculpted by F.William Sievers, which is on display at the Virginia State Capital in Richmond
Probably built during the early 1770's, Patrick Henry used this building as his law office, study and private oratory.  The original document cabinet was used by the Statesman hold his important letters and papers.


Built in 1961 of logs salvaged from damaged original cabins




Over sixty feet tall, with branches that span more than 88 feet and a circumference over 349 inches, the Osage orange tree near Patrick Henry's house is the largest of its species in America, and has been estimated at over 300 years old.
