The Virginia Museum of Natural History Foundation has received a grant of $10,000 from the Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) in support of the museum's "Celebrating 250 Years of Natural History in Virginia" initiative. The initiative, developed to coincide with the Commonwealth of Virginia's VA250 campaign to commemorate Virginia's role in the 250th anniversary of American Independence, provides a framework for a series of engaging activities, programs and publications to be offered during the 2026 calendar year in celebration of Virginia's innumerable contributions to natural history.
