    Ferry Plantation House in Virginia Beach offers visitors a glimpse into local history. The 18th-century brick house serves as a museum showcasing the area's past. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved architecture and the opportunity to learn about the property's evolution from Native American settlement to colonial plantation. Guided tours provide information on the house's former residents and the surrounding area's development. Some guests find the claims of paranormal activity intriguing, though opinions on this aspect vary. The museum's small size allows for an intimate experience, but it also means the visit may be brief for some. While the house contains period furnishings and artifacts, the collection is not extensive. Volunteers who lead the tours are generally knowledgeable and passionate about the site's history. The grounds offer a pleasant setting for a short walk. However, some visitors note that the museum could benefit from more interactive exhibits or additional historical context. Overall, Ferry Plantation House provides a modest but interesting look at local Virginia Beach history, appealing particularly to those interested in colonial-era architecture and regional heritage.
