== Overview ==<br />
<br />
Peyton Randolph served as president of the First Continental Congress. Colonial Williamsburg interprets the property as the home of the Randolph family and of 27 enslaved people, using the site to examine both revolutionary politics and the contradictions of slavery.<br />
<br />
The site or trade forms part of the broader interpretation of [[Colonial Williamsburg]], the restored Historic Area in [[Williamsburg, Virginia]].<ref name="historic-area">{{cite web<br />

== What to notice ==<br />
<br />
Interpretation extends beyond the main residence to the working spaces and landscape of the property, emphasizing the experiences of the people who lived and labored there.<br />
<br />
== Historical context ==<br />
<br />
Buildings in the Historic Area are interpreted within the political, economic, social, and domestic life of eighteenth-century Williamsburg. Some structures are original survivors, while others are reconstructions created from documentary, archaeological, and architectural evidence. Visitors should consult Colonial Williamsburg's current schedule because access, tours, and programming can change.<br />
<br />
== Visiting context ==<br />
<br />
This subject is best understood as part of the larger Colonial Williamsburg Historic Area. The main [[Colonial Williamsburg]] guide provides an overview of major sites, museums, trades, dining, and visitor information.<br />
