Hanover County has joined with localities across Virginia in agreeing to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution over the next several years.
The Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA 250) was created by the Virginia General Assembly for the purpose of planning for and commemorating the 250th anniversary of Virginia's participation in American independence. The Declaration of Independence, written primarily by Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson, was signed by fellow members of the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.
Join us as Hanover VA 250 and The Montpelier Center come together to offer exciting programs, events, and opportunities in celebration of Hanover’s 250th anniversary. Keep scrolling to see what’s in store!

The Pamunkey Woman's Club calendars are a unique artistic collection of local Revolutionary era homes and buildings situated in Hanover County. Drawn, painted, and sketched by Hanoverian artists at the request of Virginia Darnell, these distinctive renderings combined into an annual calendar series produced as a 'fundraising project by the Pamunkey Woman's Club over a span of 30 years. This exhibit, therefore, offers artistic flair to historical structures that were eyewitnesses to the founding of our United States of America. We are excited to have the collection as an integral part of the Revolution in Art Expo 2025!
