About

Join us for a deep dive into one of America’s first great legal spectacles, the treason trial of Aaron Burr! In the summer of 1807, the national spotlight landed on Richmond’s Court End neighborhood as Chief Justice John Marshall deliberated the fate of accused traitor Aaron Burr. Learn about the intrigue of the Burr Conspiracy, the scandalous "Feast of Treason" hosted by John Wickham, and the lasting impact of this monumental trial. This two-hour experience includes a guided tour of Preservation Virginia’s John Marshall House and the Valentine’s Wickham House.

Advance tickets required. $30 for adults, $20 for members, free for kids. Tour begins at John Marshall House.
