Since our last blog post, Preservation Virginia's Bacon's Castle enjoyed a few group tours including 350 students, teachers, and chaperones from a Hampton Roads public school, historical societies, and car clubs and a couple of familiarization tours from regional historic sites and tourism bureaus.

The Castle concluded general admission operations the weekend following Thanksgiving. Between December 2012 and February 2013 the Staff will focus on deep-cleaning the Castle, marketing the site to group tour operators and school systems, soliciting and securing new volunteers and interns, and managing an ambitious 2013 Calendar of Events. Staff will also continue strengthening relationships with community, industry, and tourism partners. Be sure to follow Bacon's Castle on Facebook to learn of the latest goings-on and our 2013 Calendar of Events. Although Bacon's Castle may be closed to general admissions over this winter dormancy, the Site is still available for private group tours with at least one-week advance reservations. Please contact Todd Ballance at (757) 407-8829 or <tballance@preservationvirginia.org> to schedule a private tour. Happy Holidays!
