History Comes to Life at the Loudoun Museum

When was the last time you visited a museum that made history fun? And really interesting? And had a special place for kids?

That’s what the Loudoun Museum is all about. Loudoun is growing and changing so fast (we’re one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States!) that it’s easy to lose sight of its rich history and character. That’s our job—to bring Loudoun’s history to life, right before your eyes.

Where and When

The Museum is located in two 19th century buildings at the corner of Loudoun and Wirt Streets in historic downtown Leesburg. Convenient parking is along the streets and in the public parking garage adjacent to the Museum.

Museum Hours:
Monday, Wednesday - Saturday:
10 am - 5 pm
Sunday 1 - 5 pm
Tuesday: Open for tours and groups only; advance reservations required.
