Delving into those records to explore your family’s history can be an immensely satisfying and rewarding experience. We are now offering an ongoing series of workshops to help you with your quest.

An amazing journey awaits you on the Virginia History Trails App. Vacationers and “stay-cationers” alike will be amazed to learn about the 400+ stories that the Virginia History Trails have to offer. Just turn on the app’s GPS location function and discover the rich history that surrounds you.
