COVID-19 UPDATE: Our top priority at the Virginia War Memorial is the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers, and staff. We are currently closed for quarantine until December 3rd. We are committed to continuing to monitor the health situation and keep an open line of communication with you all.
Through the stories of those who served, the nation’s leading state War Memorial honors Virginia’s fallen and preserves the past. In the process of helping veterans find their voice and collecting and telling their stories, the Memorial also educates and inspires for the future.
Take a moving, reflective walk through the heart of the Memorial: the Shrine of Memory.
Engage directly with history through veteran-led tours, educational programs for all ages, as well as artifacts, photographs, films, oral histories, and the arts.
