We the People | Final week at Rocktown History

A Pop-Up Exhibit from the Virginia Museum of History and Culture

March 17 — April 25, 2026

From the earliest days of colonial settlement to today, people from around the globe have come to Virginia to make this place their home. We The People explores the diversity of the immigrant experience and the profound impact immigrants have had on Virginia’s history and identity. Throughout the centuries, immigrants have shaped the culture, driven the economy, and connected Virginia to the world, while also defining the nature of citizenship and what it means to be a Virginian.

This traveling exhibit is mirrored by the stories that have shaped our local community. Explore the experiences of people who built lives, businesses, and communities across the Commonwealth—and add your own voice through our unique interactives.
