Adam Thoroughgood House, Colonial house museum in Virginia Beach, United States.

The Thoroughgood House features traditional brick construction with period-accurate furniture, demonstrating early colonial architectural elements and domestic arrangements from the 1700s.

Built in 1719 by Argall Thoroughgood II, the great-grandson of colonial leader Adam Thoroughgood who acquired 5,350 acres of land near Lynnhaven River in 1635.

The education center presents exhibits about colonial Virginia society, highlighting the relationships between landowners, indentured servants, and the development of the region.

The house offers guided tours every 45 minutes from Thursday through Saturday between 10 AM and 4 PM, and on Sundays from 1 PM to 5 PM.

The original owner, Adam Thoroughgood, started as an indentured servant at age 17 and rose to become a member of the House of Burgesses within five years.
