At Home with the Virginia Presidents
Life and Legacy of Appalachian Women
Thursday, April 20, 2024, 7 pm | Zoom Webinar
With author Heather Cole
Heather Cole will lead an engaging armchair travel and history talk about the eight Virginia-born presidents and the sites that shaped their lives. We will travel the state—from Staunton to Charles City and Wytheville to Winchester—to (virtually) visit the homes and historic sites of the Virginia presidents. Attendees will learn a bit about the presidents’ lives, take a peek inside their homes, and get ideas for their next history road trip.
