Red Hill Patrick Henry National Memorial

Henry bought Red Hill Plantation at his retirement in 1794 and occupied it with his wife, Dorothea, and their children until 1799, the year of his death.The first project, supported by 2006 grant money, made improvements and additions of walking trails to help visitors understand transportation and plantation agriculture.In 2018, the Foundation acquired a stretch of land known as the "Quarter Place" which housed the enslaved and later free Black populations at Red Hill.[3] Red Hill houses the largest collection of Patrick Henry artifacts in the United States, including documents, furniture, personal items, and decorative arts.[9] In total, the museum houses approximately 3,000 objects related to Patrick Henry and the history of Red Hill.
Patrick Henry Before the Virginia House of Burgesses (1851) by Peter F. Rothermel is on display at Red Hill.
