The mission of the Richmond History Center is to engage, educate, and challenge a diverse audience by collecting, preserving, and interpreting Richmond's history.

Located in the heart of historic downtown Richmond, the History Center is creating a lively and compelling new center for Richmonders and tourists to discover the diverse stories that come together to tell the history of Richmond.

A comprehensive program of exhibitions, tours, special events, research opportunities, school programs, and other public programs engage the broadest audience in an ongoing dialogue about the significance and relevance of the city's history.
