Heritage Trails & Tours

The AAHV and VFH are working in partnership with the Virginia Tourism Corporation to encourage as many people as possible to visit Virginia’s African-American historic sites. Drawing on information from the African American Heritage Database, this component of the program will result in a variety of publications and cooperative marketing efforts.

Tours may have fees associated with them.
