Fall Line and Freedom

Tour the Valentine galleries and explore how the Revolutionary War impacted three local citizens as we discuss what freedom meant in 1776, in 1865 and what it means today.

Learn how portraits can serve as primary sources and discover more artifacts from the Valentine collection that may be useful in your classroom as you explore Colonial America and Virginia.

Program Objective: Students will analyze primary and secondary sources, and apply social science skills to understand major events and history makers that shaped Richmond, State and National history.
