Few states have as rich a history as Virginia, and much of early American history happened in the Commonwealth. The first permanent English settlement in the New World was at Jamestown. The decisive American victory in the Revolutionary War that led to independence took place at Yorktown. More battles of the Civil War were fought in Virginia than in any other state. Eight U.S. Presidents were born in Virginia. A student walk-out at a Farmville school helped bring about the end of "separate but equal." Brunswick stew, a Southern staple, originated in 1820s Brunswick County.

Historian Charles R. Knight explores battlefields, museums, historic houses, caverns, parks and more across Virginia, sharing compelling stories of local, state, and national significance.
