The museum will appear at:

Housed in a quad-expandable tractor trailer, the mobile museum is traveling across Virginia and beyond, bringing key stories of the Commonwealth’s history to schools, museums, local events, and fairs. The exhibits highlight every region of the state and feature local history, including information about Peter Jacob Carter (1845–1886) of Northampton County.

“It’s exciting to see the Eastern Shore included as a stop for this traveling exhibit,” said Megan Lawson, Director of Destination Development for the Eastern Shore of Virginia Tourism Commission. “This is a rare chance for our community to experience Virginia’s history in such an interactive way.”

Families are encouraged to visit the mobile museum free of charge and learn about the commemoration of our country’s 250th anniversary of independence from Colonial rule.
