- For more than 100 years, members of the Randolph family called Wilton home. Built c. 1753 for William Randolph III, Wilton was the centerpiece of a 2,000 acre tobacco plantation and at one point was home to the largest enslaved population in Henrico. It was here that the Randolph family entertained some of colonial Virginia’s most elite social and political figures. After the ownership of six families, Wilton was purchased, relocated, and restored in the 1930s by the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Today, Wilton continues to serve as an example of Georgian architecture, headquarters to the Virginia Dames, and host to public programs and educational exhibits. Guided house tours are available on the hour, with the last tour entering the building at 3:00 p.m. An outdoor grounds audio tour is available free of charge.
