This is a wonderfully beautiful, historical and peaceful place to visit. If you didn't know, St. John's is where Patrick Henry gave his "Give me liberty or give me death" speech to the Second Virginia Convention. The memorial to George Wythe, preeminent legal mind in 1700's and first professor of law at William & Mary - Tutor and mentor to Thomas Jefferson, Justice John Marshall, Henry Clay, James Madison among others is well marked. And if you look you'll find the grave site of Edgar Allan Poe's mother. The gift shop does have the Parish book behind the desk and provides some interesting insights over the centuries.

Revolutionary history comes alive where critical decisions led to a new nation. Much to see on the grounds, and the gracious and knowledgeable staff will make your visit special. Our tour guide delivered a spirited rendition of Patrick Henry's speech that led Virginia to throw its weight behind the fight for independence. "Give me liberty or give me death!"
