A Brief History of Chesterfield County,
Virginia
Changing exhibits, such as antique toys,
woodcarvings, Victorian clothing, photographs and electric
trains lure visitors back time and time again. The museum
portrays the evolution of Chesterfield from a once
agricultural county into the present-day suburban community.
The museum is a replica of the county's
colonial courthouse of 1749. Its collections include
articles dating from pre-historic fossils into the 20th
century. Artifacts from the Appomattucks and Monacan Indians
native to the area, items pertaining to Sir Thomas Dale's
English settlement of 1611 and the 18th century French
Huguenot settlers, and items portraying the devastation of
the Revolutionary War and the Civil War battles within the
county await you.
The Old Jail, adjacent to the Museum, was
built in 1892 and housed prisoners for 70 years. The
upstairs, with its original iron-barred cells, has been
virtually unchanged. Downstairs houses historical exhibits
from the County’s Police and Fire departments.
