Yesterday, officials from the City of Waynesboro and the museum hosted a sign unveiling at the site of the future home of the museum's Waynesboro campus! Additionally, officials announced that funding for the detailed design of the museum's campus near the Shenandoah National Park has been included in Virginia's budget. Inclusion in the bill will allow the museum to move forward with detailed design work and exhibit experience of the new museum facility in Downtown Waynesboro.
To be located at the corner of W. Main and Arch Streets in Downtown Waynesboro, VMNH-Waynesboro will contain approximately 20,000 square feet of exhibits, classrooms, and visible laboratories, as well as a planned green roof overlooking South River and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
