Virginia Historical Society, Battle Abbey, and Virginia House [VA]
The Society works to collect, preserve, and interpret the Commonwealth of Virginia's history for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations. The society runs two museums: the Battle Abbey, which also serves as the headquarters of the society, and the 1929 Virginia House, an historic house museum.
The society offers a variety of educational services, including presentations for elementary and middle school students, exhibitions designed to meet the requirements of grade-specific SOLs, boxes for loan with reproductions of primary materials [travelling trunk programs are almost always for loan, not pay], and a summer teacher's program. The society also offers exhibitions and tours of their museums. The website offers digital collections and exhibits, visitor information, information regarding current exhibitions, an online selection of society publications, and an events calendar.
