Experience a unique blend of history and comfort at the Robert Carter Kitchen, located behind the Robert Carter House on Palace Green. This historic property was once part of the estate of Robert “King” Carter, one of colonial Virginia’s most influential figures. As Speaker of the House of Burgesses, a member of the governor's Council, and acting governor of the colonial capital, Carter’s legacy is deeply woven into Williamsburg’s history. Today, the Robert Carter Kitchen offers guests the chance to connect with that history while enjoying modern amenities.
A Historic Kitchen with Deep Roots
This detached kitchen, built to keep heat, food odors, and fire risk away from the main house, was a vital part of Robert "King" Carter's estate. Restorations in the 1930s and 1950s have preserved portions of the original structure, allowing you to experience firsthand the history of one of Williamsburg's most prominent families—the Carters, who played a significant role in Virginia's history.
