The mission of the Valentine is to engage, educate, and challenge a diverse audience by collecting, preserving, and interpreting Richmond’s history.
Richmond’s long and complex history is a resource that few cities have. The Valentine has a long tradition of using our unique historic buildings and vast collections to expand and deepen our understanding of the central role that Richmond plays in the larger American story, and we are committed to telling our stories in creative, engaging, and inclusive ways.
