White Hall was the home of Cassius Marcellus Clay, the antislavery politician and diplomat, and the nearly 10,000-square-foot mansion is now a state historic site. In 2026 the city of Richmond took over day-to-day operations. The site's "Scandals and Ghost Stories" tours cover reported hauntings by Clay, his wife and his son, including candle lights that move on their own, footsteps, piano and violin music, and a phantom scent. It has run ghost-themed tours for years, and the stories are part of its official programming. The ghost tours, in the fall, are held at night.
State historic site open seasonally, April through October; in 2026, self-guided tours run Wednesday through Sunday from 11 am to 3 pm, with a guided tour at 3:30. Admission is charged. Scandals and Ghost Stories night tours are a separate ticket; call 859-316-5711.
