Come check out our newest exhibit, on loan from the Library of Virginia for a limited time!

Women have played an integral part in Virginia from its beginnings, yet their contributions have often been overlooked in the history books. Today, we recognize and celebrate women's accomplishments in all walks of life. Join us this March as we celebrate National Women's History Month with this special exhibit.

Ten women are honored this year from across Virginia, including one, Felicia Rogan, of Charlottesville. These women have all made important contributions to Virginia, the nation, and the world. We encourage you to learn more about these fascinating women who saw things differently from their contemporaries, developed new approaches to old problems, served their communities, strove for excellence based on the courage of their convictions, and initiated changes in Virginia and the United States that continue to affect our lives today.

The exhibit is free & open to the public Monday-Friday, from 9am - 5pm.
