The Wickham House represents the many facets of the life of John and Elizabeth Wickham, among the wealthiest residents of early Richmond. The ostentatious display of material possessions, so important in the Federal era, would not have been possible without the labor of the Wickham's slaves. The pristine public rooms shared with the guests remained free from the noise and dirt inherent in raising a large number of children.

Today, visitors can enjoy every room in the house, imagining the complementary and competing elements that made up this early American household.
