The Amazing History of Hill House, Olde Towne Portsmouth, Virginia

Imagine, if you will, a family gone for an afternoon stroll about the neighborhood and never returning home. Such is the appearance of the Hill House Museum, an early 1800's English basement home, completely furnished with its original family belongings left in place.

This is the phenomenal story of Hill House in Portsmouth in The Hampton Roads Shows’ brand new summer Historic Homes Series. Inspired by the New York Times bestseller, “Empty Mansions” by Bill Dedman and Paul Clark Newell, Jr, which tells the story of Huguette Clark and her family. PORTSMOUTH, Va. 



The Hill House is located at 221 North Street in historic Olde Towne Portsmouth, Virginia. The house is open for tours Wednesdays from Noon—4 p.m. or by appointment. Admission is $5.00 per person. For more information, visit the Historic Hill House website at:   http://www.hillhousemuseum.org/index.html
Give them a call at 757-393-0241. Thank you Hampton Roads Show for featuring this remarkable Olde Towne mansion!
