Oakland, the Nelson Museum of History, is dedicated to sharing the history of Nelson County and Central Virginia with an emphasis on two events that contributed to the character and direction of Nelson County:
Rural Electrification as part of the New Deal
and the impact of Hurricane Camille in 1969.
As part of the Oakland mission, the museum is working with teachers and students from school systems throughout the area. Please contact us for a visit and please review the resources available below.
