Gallery Tours
The galleries at the Hampton History Museum cover more than 400 years of events in the Hampton Roads region. Our guided tours of the museum galleries and neighboring 1728 St. John's Episcopal Church are informative and engaging.
Workshops
Our interactive workshops cover a wide range of topics and offer both kids and adults the opportunity to learn about a specific topic in more detail than is possible during a tour. These workshops use a combination of hands on learning, role play, and evaluative questioning to immerse our visitors in the history they are learning about. The following workshops are available in conjunction with a guided tour of the museum.
Virginia Cultures- Virginia Indians, Africans, and Europeans
1619 African Arrival
