| The History Center’s curriculum for adults seeks to expand a person’s appreciation of Richmond’s past. Audiovisual presentations are conducted by the History Center’s curatorial and education staff and, when held on-site, can include related artifacts from the collection or a current exhibition.
Group Visits to the History Center Galleries are self-guided. Our exhibitions include "Battle for the City: The Politics of Race, 1950s-1970s," "Creating History: The Valentine Family and Museum" and "Discovering Collections, Making Connections," as well as the Edward V. Valentine Sculpture Studio. Visit the Exhibitions section to learn more.
WickHam House Tours Groups of 10 or more can arrange special guided tours of the Wickham House (1812), a National Historic Landmark and one of the History Center’s greatest treasures. Read about the Wickham House.
