Wilton, an authentic lower James River plantation house, is an impressive example of 18th century architecture. This five bay, double pile brick mansion adapts the English Georgian style into a gracious architectural statement that is distinctly American and Virginian. Completed in 1753 by William Randolph III, Wilton was the centerpiece of a 2,000-acre tobacco plantation and home to the Randolph family for more than a century. It was here that they entertained George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the Marquis de Lafayette. Today, Wilton offers guided tours for visitors who wish to experience the cultural, historical, and architectural richness of a colonial family of more than 200 years ago
