Notice — Due to the extreme heat watch issued by the National Weather Service this weekend, guided tours on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th will be modified. The history of Sotterley and its role in the American Revolution will be told from the air-conditioned Visitor Experience Center, and then visitors will be guided on a brief walk through the Manor House. Please note that the Manor House is not temperature-controlled. This decision keeps both our Museum Interpreters and visitors safe from heat-related illnesses.

Guests are welcome to enjoy the rest of our site before or after their tours. Please stay hydrated and remember to use UV protection.

Second Saturday Family Nights
Music, food, wagon rides, and more! July 11 @ 5 - 9pm
