Community COVID Memories

We all made adjustments and sacrifices as we learned to navigate our world amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Experiences were diverse and evolving for Loudouners. Whether you had your first taste of telecommuting, homeschooling, care-taking, or just finding creative ways to maintain social distancing guidelines AND your sanity, you lived through historic times.

Amidst all this change, Loudoun Museum documented and preserved some of your quarantine stories. These experiences—as digital documents, photographs, or physical objects—are evidence of our community’s resilience and creativity during tough times.

This community archive strategy allowed us to stay relevant and document first person accounts of historic events as they occurred. It also provided an opportunity for the public to curate their own narrative. The link below takes you to the website that showcases the experiences of Loudoun residents during the Pandemic, and to another site that gives some history on past pandemics.
