St. James House

A colonial house built in 1768, now one of four 18th-century properties managed by Washington Heritage Museums. The others — Mary Washington House, Rising Sun Tavern, and Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop — share the same interpretive umbrella. Go if you're working through the cluster; the house itself stands as one data point in a larger story the museums are trying to tell about Fredericksburg in the colonial era.
