Virginia National Guard History Program
OUR MISSION:
To invigorate and fortify the people of America, Virginia, and the American military by bringing to life the Virginia National Guard’s 400+ years of protecting and defending the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States of America both at home and abroad.
 
WHAT WE DO:
In addition to preparing for the new Museum of the Virginia National Guard to be located in Richmond, Virginia, we serve the Commonwealth of Virginia by:
  • Curating historic and contemporary exhibitions for Virginia National Guard buildings and Readiness Centers
  • Collecting and preserving the Virginia National Guard Historical Collection, which includes more than 8,000 artifacts, photographs, documents, maps, videos, and oral history interviews
  • Publishing and presenting scholarly research on how the Virginia National Guard has always played a vital role in shaping, protecting, and defending the United States of America
