St. Luke's Historic Church & Museum, Virginia’s oldest brick church, now serves the public as a living, breathing symbol of religious freedom with a storied past. Explore the grounds of this renowned historic site and national landmark on a journey through over 400 years of vibrant, American history. Turn the page, step into a piece of our nation’s past, and uncover the unique, enriching story that IS St. Luke’s Historic Church & Museum.

In October 1956 President Eisenhower declared the Church Building a National Historic and Patriotic Shrine and in 1966 designated a National Historic Landmark.  Between February 1 and December 31 the Tuesday through Saturday, 43-acre historic site and museum provides gift shopping and 45-minute guided tours of the Site from the beginnings of the Anglican Church with Henry VIII of England through the 2012 restoration.

You may rent the historic site and building for weddings, enjoy hourly guided tours, attend academic lectures and living history events, and seasonal cemetery tours.
