A walk through Virginia\u2019s history<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Pam Stallsmith<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

VPC members and guests enjoyed an enthralling tour of the newly renovated Virginia Museum of History & Culture on April 16. VMHC, formerly known as the Virginia Historical Society, is the oldest cultural institution in the state, founded in 1831. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

VMHC houses more than nine million pieces (not all of which are on display) and tells the story of the commonwealth and its special role in American history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maggie Creech, the museum\u2019s director of education, guided us on the engaging hour-long tour. A special highlight was admiring the folk-art exhibit of longtime member Ann Oppenhimer and her husband William. We also enjoyed seeing the new exhibition, \u201cApollo: When We Went to the Moon.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
