Weems-Botts Museum

This little house was built in the 1700s and added on to in the Victorian Era. The interesting tour includes the history of Dumfries, which was once a major colonial port city. The hidden history of Dumfries includes playing key roles in the revolutionary war and the fo...unding of the nation. There's a touch table for kids and the feel of the tour is personalized- because it's so small they get few visitors and the tour guide is able to spend time talking about what you want or don't want-- it feels like you're visiting someone's home with a fascinating history. If you're keen- the house is said to be the most haunted in Dumfries and the guides all have stories to share about encounters... They give a GREAT Ghost Walk tour in October and you can spend the night in the haunted museum!! It's really unique and a lot of fun! Read More
