It opened in 1994 and originally hosted the NHRA's Virginia NHRA Nationals. It has a seating capacity of 23,000 spectators. After a brief time with IHRA beginning in 2010, the track returned to NHRA in 2012. On January 30, 2018, NHRA announced that a pro national event will be returning to Virginia Motorsports Park, as the NHRA Summernationals moved from Englishtown, New Jersey, after Old Bridge Township Raceway Park decided to cancel all drag racing operations there earlier in the month. The first Virginia NHRA Nationals took place in early June 2018. That event lasted two seasons before being removed by the NHRA on March 25, 2020 as part of a purge of races to reduce the schedule to 19 events because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Virginia NHRA Nationals returned in May 2022. It was not held in 2023, but did return to the NHRA Misson Foods Drag Racing Series schedudle in 2024 and will take place again June 20-22, 2025. Virginia Motorsports Park is also a member track of the Professional Drag Racers Association (PDRA), a regional sanctioning body of professional 1/8 mile (0.201 km) doorslammer (Pro Stock and Pro Modified) style drag racing, with Pro Modified classes split by type of power boosters added (turbocharger/supercharger, nitrous oxide, and an entry-level 632ci limit format), and the Pro Stock class being Mountain Motor. The current owners are Tommy and Judy Franklin, who purchased the facility in 2017. Tommy Franklin is also one of the founders of PDRA. The track has been hosting the PDRA Brian Olson Memorial World Finals since October 2019. Virginia Motorsports Park has a dirt track located beside the dragstrip which hosts tractor pulling, motocross and other events. The facility also hosts the annual Dinwiddie County Fair in October.

Virginia Randolph Cottage

The Virginia Randolph Cottage, now the Virginia E. Randolph Museum, is a museum at 2200 Mountain Road in Glen Allen, Virginia. The museum is dedicated to the history of Virginia E. Randolph (1874–1958), an African-American vocational educator in the area for 55 years. The building, built in 1937 and housing Randolph's home economics classrooms, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974 in recognition of her legacy as a trainer of vocational teachers; her remains are interred on the grounds. Description and history The Virginia Randolph Museum is located east of Glen Allen, on the north side of Mountain Road, just east of the main buildings of the Academy at Virginia Randolph, part of the Henrico County public schools. The museum building is a single-story brick house, with a gabled roof pierced by three dormers. It is not architecturally distinctive, and its interior has been partitioned to better serve its present purpose as a museum. It was built in 1937 with federal funding assistance. Virginia E. Randolph was born to former slaves, and made her early career as an educator. In 1908 she was chosen by the Henrico County supervisor to develop a model program of training and supervision for vocational teachers. Under the auspices of the Jeanes Foundation, the methods and plans developed by Virginia Randolph in Henrico County eventually achieved internationally widespread adoption. Randolph also continued to teach in the Henrico County schools until her retirement in 1949. The home economics building, where she is said to have had an office, continued to be used as a teaching facility until 1969-70, and was then converted by the county into a museum in Randolph's honor. Randolph is buried in a grave nearby.

Virginia War Memorial

The Virginia War Memorial is a 1955 memorial in Richmond, Virginia, originally dedicated to Virginians killed in World War II and the Korean War. In 1980, the Shrine was enlarged to honor those Virginians killed in action in the Vietnam War. In 1996, the names of Virginians killed in action during Desert Storm/Desert Shield were added. Today, there are nearly 12,000 Virginians whose names are engraved on the Shrine of Memory's glass and stone walls. Reflecting the different character of war today, Virginia has created a special Memorial Shrine to honor the over 250 Virginians killed in the Global War on Terrorism. The Virginians at War documentary video series, combined with other efforts, significantly increased the War Memorial's public image in the local region and throughout the Commonwealth, and highlighted the message of the "Price of Freedom". The Memorial added staff and volunteers to meet the increasing demand for its educational offerings and to assist with increased visitors to the Memorial. To alleviate the increasing demand on the facilities, an education center was planned to expand the educational opportunities and outreach for students and visitors, and to provide adequate visitor services. A design was created to add an 18,000 square foot education center that would provide additional space to accommodate multiple groups and visitors. Paul and Phyllis Galanti Education Center In October 2007, the Memorial Trustees and Directors announced that a new education center would be named for two American heroes, Paul and Phyllis Galanti. Each served the United States beyond the call of duty during and since the Vietnam War; Paul Galanti was a prisoner of war (POW) during the Vietnam War, and Phyllis Galanti organized efforts to obtain the release of her husband and other American POWs. The Paul and Phyllis Galanti Education Center was dedicated on February 29, 2010, and features an amphitheater and an indoor theater. Visiting Virginia War Memorial In 2008, over 21,000 people from 45 states and 21 countries visited the memorial. Past the front doors there is a display cabinet full of battle coins in the memory of Claiborne G. Thomasson for his dedication and leadership in the United States Air Force between 1963-1969. There is display information for the American Revolutionary War, Mexican War, American Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I,and World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War. Each one includes a timeline of the war. There is a Research Library, displaying guns and uniforms from the National Guard in World War I. There is also a piece of the West Wall of the Pentagon, from the September 11 attacks. The artifact is a section of the wall from the crash site. The next room is the Freedom Hall, which has the Wall of Honor of Virginia’s Heroes of the Global War on Terrorism. There is also a display of Women in Naval Aviation, with pictures and uniforms and helmets. References External links Official website

WRVA Building

The WRVA Building is an 18,000-square-foot (1,700 m2) building located at 200 N. 22nd St. in the historic Church Hill district of Richmond, Virginia. Designed by world-renowned architect Philip Johnson while he was at the architectural firm of Budina and Freeman, it was originally built to house WRVA (AM), one of Virginia's first broadcast radio stations. The building is considered "one of the city's most visible and important mid-20th-century architectural landmarks." ChildSavers, a Richmond nonprofit child services agency, is the current occupant. Renovation From 2007 until 2008, the WRVA Building underwent an extensive $5.4 Million renovation for use by ChildSavers. Baskervill, a Richmond architecture firm, treated the building with great care to successfully design its adaptive reuse. Very few structural changes were needed during its renovation.

Walkerton (Glen Allen, Virginia)

Walkerton Tavern was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984; the listing included five contributing buildings and one contributing site. History The main structure was built in 1825. Condition at the time of listing At the time of the property's listing on the National Register in 1984, it was occupied and privately owned by George D. Bowles; its accessibility was limited. The property was noted as one of the best-preserved antebellum-era taverns in central Virginia and perhaps "the most impressive building of its type ever erected in Central Virginia." Presidential visit President Barack Obama visited the site and held a rally as part of a campaign tour for his second presidential election. Architecture The tavern is a brick structure with 4 stories of living space. It is more architecturally significant than other hostelries in the region of the same period. It has a double set of internal stairways, one set intended for guests and the other for the family and servants. The main building also has an unusual semi-enclosed gable-end service porch and a unique swinging vertical-board partition, which allowed one of the upstairs rooms to serve as a temporary dance hall. Some of the features that made the property distinctive were gone as of the time of its 1984 listing, including a caged bar, a plank walkway from the carriage stop to the front porch, three separate detached ice houses, and a stable with stalls for twenty horses. Remaining early outbuildings Some outbuildings remain from the time when the building was initially in operation: these are the servants' quarters, a well-house, a smokehouse, and a carriage-house/outhouse.
