About Preservation Virginia

Since 1889, Preservation Virginia has preserved historic places and raised awareness of the importance of perpetuating and revitalizing Virginia's cultural, architectural and historic heritage, thereby ensuring that historic places are integral parts of the lives of present and future generations. We currently own and operate six historic sites across the state, including: Historic Jamestowne, Patrick Henry's Scotchtown, Smith's Fort Plantation, Cape Henry Lighthouse, Bacon's Castle and the John Marshall House. Without our efforts to help others understand the importance of retaining important parts of our heritage, Virginia would have lost historic sites – and the stories that go with them – forever. It is more important, now than ever, to integrate history and its lessons into tomorrow's culture. Through our work, we strengthen communities, create connections for people and help sustain a strong economy. We will continue to foster the use of historic preservation tools and applications in order to develop and sustain vibrant communities.
