What the community has to say about Virginia Historical Society

Information about this business (3)

The Virginia Historical Society was founded in 1831. Like most of the nation's older historical societies, it has always been a private organization, one that derives virtually all its support from membership and endowment. At the organizational meeting in 1831, Chief Justice John Marshall was elected its first president, and former president James Madison was elected its first honorary member.

Call ahead to determine if the renovation is complete. We expect it contains some great stuff but all we got to see was the mural room. We may try again. if we are in the area.

I went to the Virginia Historical Society to do some family history research. All I can say is WOW!! They have a collection that stopped me in my tracks. I was not expecting there to be so much information. The staff were lovely and ready to provide assistance and answer questions.
