Join us at Bacon’s Castle for our annual Seventeenth Century Day, a family-friendly celebration of Virginia’s early history and cultural heritage.
This year’s event brings together Virginia Indian Tribal partners, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, the Rappahannock Indian Tribe, and the Nottoway Indian Tribe along with the Library of Virginia’s LVA On the Go van for a day of hands-on learning and discovery.
Visitors can explore a guided seventeenth-century house tour of Bacon’s Castle, enjoy pop-up exhibits and living history reenactors, and participate in interactive activities for all ages. The day will also feature genealogy resources, kids’ archaeology activities, special mini-lectures, and more opportunities to engage with the stories and communities that shaped early Virginia.
This event is made possible in part by a Virginia Humanities grant.
