Moses Myers House

Early Norfolk townhouse preserving the world of a prominent Jewish merchant family

The Moses Myers House is one of downtown Norfolk's most rewarding small historic sites. Built at the end of the 18th century, it preserves the home of a Jewish merchant family whose fortunes were tied to Norfolk's Atlantic trade, with period rooms that feel domestic rather than staged.

Its interest is in detail: furniture, portraits, household objects, and the way a prosperous family lived in a port city still shaping its identity after the American Revolution. It is close enough to the Chrysler Museum and the NEON District to fold into a short downtown walk.
