At-Home Lesson Plans

We hope you and your family will enjoy the following lesson plans about Virginia and Louisa County History! The historical context sections are provided to give parents and guardians a more thorough background knowledge of each theme. Each lesson plan features hands-on activities that can be completed separately, or you can complete all of them together. We tried to create activities that use supplies that we hope you have on hand. If you do not have all the supplies, see if you can make any creative substitutions and/or alterations. 


Thank you to Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation for making this program possible!
