At the Waynesboro Heritage Foundation and its museums, we preserve the history of Waynesboro, Virginia and the immediate surrounding area.
Come see us.
The Waynesboro Heritage Museum portrays the history of Waynesboro, Virginia through permanent and rotating exhibit galleries at two museums: the Waynesboro Heritage Museum in downtown Waynesboro and the early-19th century Plumb House. Permanent panels within each gallery reiterate the city’s history, from the Beverley Grant under King George II of England in 1797, early Teasville (Teesville), Basic City, Railroads, Education, Industry, “Memorable Waynesboro”: hospitality and entertainment, a postcard gallery, and exhibits on Fishburne Drug Store, Banks of Waynesboro, and Early Entrepreneurs of Waynesboro.
The Waynesboro Heritage Museum’s permanent gallery is complemented by a newly renovated rotating modular exhibit space that allows the museum to display several temporary rotating exhibits simultaneously, as well as a new “Out of the Archives” permanent exhibit space. The following exhibits are currently on display in the rotating gallery:
The Waynesboro Heritage Museum is located in Waynesboro, Virginia, in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. (If you are looking for the Waynesboro Historical Society in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, please click here.)
Always free! Donations welcome.
The Plumb House is fully volunteer run, and is not staffed as often during the cold fall and winter months. Please call the museum at 540-943-3943 to make an appointment to visit.
