About

Join the VMHC for the opening of our newest exhibition Un/Bound: Free Black Virginians, 1619-1865. This exhibition explores the lives of free Black Virginians from the arrival of the first captive Africans in 1619 to the abolition of slavery in 1865. Through powerful objects and first-person accounts, visitors will discover how Virginia’s people of color achieved their freedom, established communities, and persevered within a legal system that recognized them as free but not equal.

Included with daily admission. Admission is always free for members.
