About RCHS
The Rappahannock Colonial Heritage Society, Inc. is a non-profit organization with the purpose of bringing together persons interested in preserving & perpetuating the heritage and culture of the colonial era in & around the Rappahannock River Valley of Virginia.

We also desire to conduct historical research of persons, places & events relating to the Rappahannock River Valley in Colonial times, and to organize activities related to the Colonial era in an effort to educate the public about the way of life of our forebears in this area. Our time period of concentration is 1760 to 1820.

These purposes may be accomplished through, but are not limited to, the following activities:

• demonstrations of colonial life skills & craftsmanship
• colonial dances & dance classes
• newsletter & web site

We were incorporated in March 2000 and were approved for non-profit status under IRS code 501 (c)(3). Donations to our Society are tax deductible.
