Description

Costen House Museum

The Costen House was built by Dr. Isaac Costen shortly after the Civil War and was lived in by members of his family for over a century. Dr. Costen was a Confederate blockade runner during the war, carrying food and supplies at great personal risk across the lower Chesapeake Bay to the Hampton Roads area. He was also noted for his work with typhoid fever and stories abound of the good doctor traveling on horseback through the swamps during a severe typhus epidemic.
