Urbanna Museum and Visitors Center

Built in 1766, the James Mill Scottish Factor Store is one of America’s oldest surviving mercantile buildings tied to the tobacco trade at Urbanna Creek. Scottish factors transformed commerce here by offering planters immediate cash or credit for tobacco in exchange for imported goods. Inside, view the original 1755 John Mitchell Map - often called “the most important map in American history”—along with exhibits honoring Urbanna’s rich oyster heritage. Today, the building serves as the Visitor Center for the Town of Urbanna and Middlesex County.
