Riddick's Folly House Museum

The best part of the tour of this house was Lee King! The house is just a house with old stuff in it until he brings it alive. Go tour the house and hear the stories!!! Worth it!!

I went with a group of ladies last week to tour this AMAZING house!! Lee King was an awesome tour guide! He brought the history of the house to life and had us hooked on his “juicy tidbits” of family history! I highly recommend everyone who loves history, historic houses, historic furniture, etc to go see this house! I can’t wait to take my husband back to tour it.

Not handicapped accessible on the weekends. The tour guide was super knowledgeable. It is a LONG tour, could be faster. A beautiful house altogether.

I visited this place on November 21st and took my two nieces. It was interesting, educational, and an eye opener for me. We will never be able to fathom the difficulties of this time period. Yes, some had it better than others just like today but we all should be grateful for what we have. The strangest thing happened to me as I walked into one of the rooms...I was being touched (literally) by something I could not see and felt stifled. Nonetheless, I began to ponder on whether something from that time period was trying to get my attention. I would recommend people to visit and enjoy the history.

We were visiting family and wanted to find somewhere with Suffolk history and charm and Riddick Folly House did not disappoint!

Lee took us on a 1.5 hours tour (fairly priced) of the 4 story mansion and was able to keep our children who are 10 and 6 engaged and interested. You could tell Lee has a passion for what he is sharing and is very knowledgeable. He would ask us questions and wouldn't even mind answering silly questions.

If you are interested in Greek revival homes, carved moldings, intricate furniture, civil war memorabilia and history this beautiful museum will not disappoint.

Also, the gift shop had many items true to the character of the home that were reasonably priced. I bought quite a few great items.
