Take your group or students on a field trip through 16,000 years of Virginia history with a visit to the Virginia Museum of History & Culture, book a virtual HistoryConnects program, or incorporate our learning resources into your classroom! We offer educational opportunities and programs for all ages, including teacher professional developments and homeschool opportunities.
I love the Virginia Museum of History & Culture and feel like it is a terrific and worthwhile field trip.
