What a historic treasure! The house has such a significance in US history, it should not be missed. The woman from the gift shop gave me a private tour, and we were able to have some discussions on different topics of historic interest. The house is beautifully maintained, with many original furnishings, paintings and clothing of the Sutherlins. Too bad the town turned it into a library at one point and moved the stair case, but you can definitely get a feel of what it looked like when Jefferson Davis stayed there. There is a wonderful Civil War room, with artifacts, Civil Rights wing, a black opera star Camilla Williams wing and an art exhibit wing.There is also an auditorium, but it was empty.The house has a spooky feeling and is haunted by benevolent ghosts. An upstairs room is the meeting place for the Daughters of the Confederacy.

Closed, we arrived about 15mins prior and since the hubby did 20yrs military, and is retired we would have had to pay $20 for the 2 of us to quickly look at a few Wendell Scott momentos, so we just went by his garage instead and enjoyed our time in Danville. History is awesome to see

A treasure! The house itself is an amazing piece of history. All of the other information and exhibits make it a great place to visit to learn about Danville VA and US history. The docents and volunteers were also super friendly and helpful.

Very interesting! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Had a great collection of items from the 1800s and lots of information about the history of Danville and the house the museum is located in.

The museum locates in a gorgeous historical district. Even if one is not interested in the piece of history, it is a great place to stop and see beautiful town.
