The John Marshall House, built in 1790 in the fashionable Court End neighborhood of Richmond, was the home of the Great Chief Justice for forty-five years. Listed on the National and Virginia Historic Registers, the John Marshall House has undergone remarkably few changes since Marshall’s lifetime.

The property remained in the Marshall family until 1911 and is currently owned and operated by Preservation Virginia. Visitors can enjoy a guided tour, stroll the garden and visit the museum shop.

  Excellent tour! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave numerous examples of John Marshall's 34 year career as Chief Justice. Loved the orginal furnishings in the home. Very glad they have preserved this home with its history.

  Very nice historical home right in the heart of downtown Richmond. The house contains many detailed and informative pieces about John Marshall, his life and career, as well information about the periods in which he lived and was chief justice of the Supreme Court. There is a nice garden in the rear to sit and enjoy the grounds. It's directly across the street from city hall.
