About Virginia Randolph Cottage

The former home economics building for a county training center now houses a museum devoted to Virginia E. Randolph, a Henrico County educator who led vocational training work for Black schools. Randolph kept an office in the building late in her life. The site is run by Henrico County Recreation and Parks, and Randolph's grave lies on the museum grounds. Visitors should check the posted hours, since the museum is open on a limited schedule and otherwise by appointment.
