315F Spring 2026 On the Road with the Virginia Presidents

315F  On the Road with the Virginia Presidents
One session
Instructor: Heather Cole
Tuesday, 11:50—1:15, Apr. 28
Join the instructor for an engaging armchair travel presentation about the eight Virginia-born presidents and the sites that shaped their lives. We will travel the state—from Staunton to Charles City and Wytheville to Winchester—to (virtually) visit the homes and historic sites of the Virginia presidents and talk about how historical interpretation at these sites has changed over the years. Attendees will learn a bit about the presidents’ lives, take a peek inside their homes, and get ideas for their next history road trip.
