Virginia Statewide Historical Marker Program

The Virginia Statewide Historical Marker Program is an initiative that recognizes and commemorates significant historical events, people, and places across Virginia. Managed by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, it involves placing markers in various locations to educate the public and preserve the state's rich history. Each marker provides a brief description of the topic it highlights, offering context and encouraging learning. The program aims to foster appreciation for Virginia's diverse heritage and promote historical tourism, connecting communities to their past and enhancing cultural awareness among residents and visitors alike.
