We are dedicated to interpreting the extraordinary chain of events that have taken place in and near this historic central Virginia town. [continued]

Help us preserve historic buildings, documents and artifacts.

Rehabilitation of this historic African American church is ongoing as the Friends of New London try to save it for interpretation and adaptive re-use.

This web site is the virtual side of our museum and the first step in creating a significant new historic destination in central Virginia. We invite you to explore the other sections of our site and watch them grow as our research committee unearths new information.
