Founded in 1966, the Louisa County Historical Society brings to light, preserves, and shares the history of Louisa County. Our vision is to enlighten the present by illuminating the past in order to inspire the future. 

We celebrate the diversity of our community and are committed to forming relationships to arrive at a more inclusive history.

We bring history to life by striving to engage the public with a deeper understanding of the past and to inspire action to promote a better future.

We are committed to being trusted stewards of historical resources in our care.

We embrace partnerships and we understand that financial stability is the key to our sustainability.

We value all gifts: from volunteers’ time to member support, community partnerships, and individual, business, and corporate donations.

The Louisa County Historical Society is located in the town of Louisa in Central Virginia within driving distance of Charlottesville, Richmond, and Fredericksburg.

Are you passionate about what we're doing? Let us know! Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of-mouth, thank you. We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of our generous supporters like you to help us provide educational programs and services for our community. We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. Ways you can help range from staffing our museum, administrative assistance, educational programs, research, and fundraising. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you.
