A Treasure Trove
Of Historical Sites And Natural Wonders
It’s not surprising that the idea of Earth Day was first dreamt up in Virginia; the Old Dominion is steeped in natural beauty as well as history. Take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway and marvel at Shenandoah National Park. Escape to the sandy dunes of the seashore. History buffs will love spending time at Mount Vernon, Monticello, Colonial Williamsburg, or historic Jamestown. The Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk has one of the finest and most expansive collections in the region, and Wolf Trap in Vienna is the only national park dedicated exclusively to the performing arts.
Sir Walter Raleigh named Virginia for Elizabeth I, the “Virgin Queen” of England.
The 105-mile Skyline Drive through the Shenandoah National Park connects with the first 213-mile portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway to create a spectacular Virginia roadtrip that every American should enjoy at least once.
The 301-acre Colonial Williamsburg, with restored and replicated buildings staffed by authentically costumed guides, is the world’s largest living history museum.
Nearly 25% of all Virginia workers are employed by the United States government.
After more than 400 years from agricultural development to urban sprawl, about 60% of Virginia is still covered by forests.
Climate
In the western mountainous part of the state, temperatures are a bit milder, and from the Blue Ridge Mountains east to the shore, expect a humid, subtropical climate.
About 70% of all internet traffic flows through data centers in northern Virginia.
The Eastern Shore of Virginia is removed from large cities but has a unique charm with small historic waterfont towns along the longest stretch of wild coastline remaining on the East Coast.
