About Raynham Hall Museum
Raynham Hall Museum is the historic home of Robert Townsend, a central member of George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring. The home was occupied by British officer Lt. Col. John Graves Simcoe during the Revolutionary War. Transformed into a Victorian villa in the 1850s, the house offers two eras of interpretation, both the American Revolution era and preserving a late 19th-century aesthetic.
