About

The Wormeley Cottage is the simplest of the few early houses remaining in the once bustling colonial port of Urbanna. It stands on a lot originally owned by the Wormeley family of Rosegill, and it is assumed that they erected the building for use as a plantation overseer's house ca. 1747. It was later owned by Arthur Lee of nearby Lansdowne. Rescued from threatened demolition, Wormeley Cottage was restored in 1976 by preservationist Robert L. Montague III.

Wormeley-Lee Montague House is now Urbanna Trading Company
