Fin de semana de historia y cultura
Museo del Cuerpo Civil de Conservación en el Parque Estatal Pocahontas
Virginia’s state parks will host History and Culture Weekend on June 13-14, 2026, to celebrate Virginia State Parks’ 90th anniversary. The park system opened on June 15, 1936, with just six parks — Douthat, First Landing, Fairy Stone, Staunton River, Hungry Mother and Westmoreland. They offered modern outdoor recreational facilities while protecting areas with significant natural resources.
Desde entonces, el sistema ha crecido a 44 parques, con uno ubicado a una hora en automóvil de la mayoría de los habitantes de Virginia. Ofrecen más de 2,000 campamentos, casi 300 cabañas, más de 500 millas de senderos y un cómodo acceso a las principales vías fluviales de Virginia. Además, los parques albergan miles de eventos de naturaleza e historia cada año.
Únase a nosotros para el Día de la Historia y la Cultura y ayúdenos a celebrar 90 años de conservación y recreación. Desde demostraciones culturales hasta recorridos en kayak, nuestros parques ofrecerán algo para todos los gustos el 13 y 14de junio.
