About Hunter House Victorian Museum

This house museum in downtown Norfolk's Freemason District lets visitors walk through two floors of a Victorian home. The displays come from the Hunter family's own collection of furniture, books, and decorative pieces, which illustrate Victorian decorative arts and architecture. Guided tours run at set midday and early afternoon times, and self-guided visits are possible at other times when the museum is open. The museum also hosts events and rotating exhibitions, and it operates on a donation basis.
