Founded in 1968, the Goochland County Historical Society
is a non-profit organization created and operated for
the perpetuation and preservation of Goochland County
heritage and tradition. To fulfill its mission, the Society
has collected manuscripts, artifacts, genealogical, and
architectural information pertaining to Goochland, and
Virginia in general. These resources, some of them rare
and unique, are made available to the public at the Society's
Historical Center. Additionally, skilled volunteers will
conduct genealogy research from these sources as well.
The Society annually publishes a magazine featuring original
articles and documents. In addition to the magazine, the
Society provides its membership with a newsletter which features current information on
the Society's business, museum acquisitions, and the next
scheduled program meeting.
To further member involvement and to make history a lively
interest for all, three general meetings are held annually,
often featuring authorities on historical topics. Illustrated
lectures have been presented and musical performances
enjoyed. Members also participate in Society sponsored
tours to historic sites in various parts of Virginia.
Please invite your friends to become new
members of the Society.
For more information, please call the Society or come
by the Historical Center.
Visitors are always welcomed. Our summer hours
are Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., winter
hours are Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. until
3 p.m.
