Staying connected to the Virginia Living Museum during social distancing.

31 March 2020 by

Virginia Living Museum is one of our families most favorite places to visit in Hampton Roads.  We have been visiting for years. 

The Coronavirus pandemic has led many museums, amusement parks, retail to close their doors due to social distancing.  Many businesses have found ways to stay connected to their patrons during this difficult time.

I absolutely love what the VLM is doing.  We are getting an inside glimpse into things about the museum we would normally not be able to experience.  There is always a silver lining. 

Here is what Virginia Living Museum is doing to stay connected

Visit us VIRTUALLY across all social platforms. It is the next best thing to visiting!
