Each season, and each year, the Loudoun Museum offers its visitors something new to learn about Loudoun’s heritage. We design our exhibits to be educational, entertaining—and a little different.

The Threads of History exhibit highlights artifacts in the museum’s extensive textile collection. Changed quarterly, each display features unusual and beautiful objects related to a seasonal or historic theme. This summer’s “Parasols, Fans and Flirtations” allows us to share how 18th and 19th century ladies used functional and fancy accessories to cope with Virginia’s heat and humidity, and maintain their fashionably fair complexions.

Grandma’s Attic is our curator’s choice of curious artifacts that offer a fascinating glimpse into Loudoun’s history.

Loudoun: A Microcosm of the Revolution illustrates the region’s history from the its days as a Native American hunting territory to a leading force in the in the American Revolution.
