The Carver 4-County Museum is PROUD to be a Commemorative Partner of VA250—The Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission. Of the thirteen original colonies, none played as fundamental a role as Virginia in the formation of our country. From the ideas that inspired it, to the battlefields that decided it, there is simply no America without it. As we mark 250 years of Independence, now is the perfect time for you to reconnect with your country in the place that made it possible. Visit our WE DECLARE exhibit where you may read the Virginia Declaration of Rights, and about the men who wrote it. Please join us in the museum and see more at VA250.org.
