Celebrate VA250 in Charlottesville and Albemarle County
There is simply no America without Virginia and the Charlottesville/Albemarle County area. As we mark 250 years of Independence, now is the perfect time for you to reconnect with your country in the place that made it possible.
Visit Charlottesville is proud to be a Commemorative Partner of VA250—The Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission. Of the thirteen original colonies, none played as fundamental a role as Virginia in the formation of our country, and the Charlottesville and Albemarle County area was the fertile ground upon which great American ideals sprang forth.

You'll find many events and exhibits that examine the founding ideals of the United States and revolutionary movements that continue today.
