3. Isle of Wight County Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 95 reviews
Museum chronicles the history of the Isle of Wight County with a special emphasis on water, ham and agricultural industries. The exhibits include prehistoric fossils, Native American and Colonial artifacts, a turn-of-the-century country store, displays interpreting the Smithfield ham industry and perhaps the museum’s most notable artifact: the world’s oldest, edible cured ham.

Very fun place to visit and lots of interesting things to learn about the County seat. It’s worth the small price of admission and will take about 30 minutes with small kids.

This is the place to get country ham, cut to order cheese, chocolate covered peanuts, homemade pot pie, and homemade chicken salad. Customer service is friendly and caring. It is a family run business. The owners know most local customers by name..

This building served as Isle of Wight County’s courthouse from 1752 until 1800. Curing this time it was the center of county colonial government. Completed in 1752, it is one of only four remaining arcaded colonial court buildings in Virginia and the only colonial courthouse boasting the distinctive semi-circular apse. In 1799, a clerk’s office was constructed adjacent to the courthouse.

This is the best Christmas store EVER! The people are nice, the inventory very complete, and the prices pretty fair. Lots of unusual items and when we were there a lot of Halloween stuff too. Great place!
