| The Virginia Historical Society, the Museum of Virginia History, offers the most comprehensive collection of Virginiana in the world and features the largest display of Virginia artifacts on permanent view. At its center is "The Story of Virginia, an American Experience," the state's only exhibition covering all of Virginia history from prehistoric times to the present. Throughout this 10,000 square-foot exhibition of more than a thousand objects--including a 17th-century dugout canoe, a Conestoga wagon, an 18th-century smokehouse and kitchen, and 1918 streetcar--Virginia's past is delightfully portrayed using a multi-media approach of videos, storyphones, computer games, and other interactive components.
