Riddick's Folly

In early 1837 a fire ravaged dozens of homes and outbuildings at the north end of Main Street in Suffolk. Out of the ashes of that fire Mr. Mills Riddick built the home that is known today as Riddick''s Folly.

Riddick descendents continued to live in the home until 1967 when the house and grounds were sold to Nansemond County for use as offices. In 1977 Riddick''s Folly was established as a house museum and facility for cultural events in Suffolk. In the 1980''s the home underwent extensive privately funded restoration and even today is continually being enhanced by acquisition of period furnishings and further restoration.
