Review:
Also known as the Arthur Allen House, Bacon's Castle in Virginia was built in 1665, making it the oldest known brick dwelling in the country.
It's surrounded by a formal English garden that dates back to the 17th century, and there are several historic outbuildings on the property as well, including a smokehouse, two barns, and a slave dwelling constructed in 1830.
Visitors are welcome to explore the castle and the gardens on their own, and guided 45-minute tours are available for anyone who wants a more in-depth look at the stories of the people who used to live here.
