Red Hill is the last home and burial place of Patrick Henry, a Founding Father known for his speech in which he said "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death!" Since 1944, Red Hill been lovingly restored, maintained, and shared with the public. Red Hill keeps the spirit of the 'Voice of the American Revolution' alive by inspiring a better understanding of Colonial history through supporting scholarship, conducting educational programs, and continuing stewardship of the property. After acquiring Red Hill from Lucy Gray Henry Harrison, a great-granddaughter of Patrick Henry and the final descendant to live on the estate, the Patrick Henry Memorial Foundation began the process of restoring the property and constructing a museum to house what is now the largest collection of Patrick Henry-related artifacts in the world.
