This is a great find off the beaten path. We go during the holidays when they special have tours and enjoy learning the history.

I went to this property because the Chrysler museum was being renovated and it didn't disappoint. The young gentleman on the front desk gave a super overview of the museum beforehand. Lots of original furniture and paintings, together with a clear information timeline.

I love historical sites- the area is rich in sites. We would read about for example George Washington as a child and visit his home the next day. The Moses Myers House is a wonderful local surprise that is passed by every day traffic. Take the time to smell the roses.

This 1792 home is lovely, but even more importantly, it does such good job of using the Myers' family to illustrate Norfolk's early history, notably the maritime trade but also a glimpse into Jewish life in colonial times and insights into the city's growth and development in the late 19th and early 20th century. When I arrived, the docent was... More

I did not know about this site until I read about it in the Norfolk attractions guide. I am so glad I decided to visit it! It is downtown and within walking distance of the Norfolk History Museum and the Fire and Police Museum, so one can visit all three museums in a short time span. All are free. Moses... More

I had lived less than a mile from this house for 2 years, but I never went to it until after I had dome back for a visit 6 years later. It is a beautiful house with unique ornate decorations and some interesting family history on their involvement and support of the city of Norfolk. If you are looking to... More
