Virginia in the Eighteenth Century, 10:00 a.m. – Noon
This course looks at life in Virginia over the eighteenth century. Themes include the rise of the gentry class, the tobacco economy, slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, demographic change and westward migration, architecture, women and family, the Great Awakening and religious dissent, the Seven Years’ War, and political change and the American Revolution. From its consolidation as a slave society as the century opened to its leading role in the creation of a new nation, this course examines the profound transformations that shaped Virginia in its second hundred years.

The VIA is excited to host our 5th Annual Boot Sale, mark your calendars! This is always a super fun event where participating vendors fill up the boots (trunks) of their cars and trucks with all the items they want to sell and buyers feel free to haggle a fair price. It's a GREAT time to find some super bargains!

There are no reservations! Vendors simply show up, pay up, and set up!

Vendors check in at the Chesapeake Drive entrance and set up between 7 - 8 AM, one hour before the Boot Sale opens to the public. A $10 sellers fee for vendors will be collected up-front at the entrance gate. VIA volunteers will instruct vendors on where to park.
