Colonial Beach, Virginia, along with its surrounding area, is rich in history. The jewel of the Northern Neck, it has been home to inventors, fishermen, writers, gamblers and statesmen since its incorporation in 1892.
The Colonial Beach Historical Society rescued an historical house from destruction. The building became the Museum where artifacts and photos are displayed, telling the story of our town. Today the Museum shares that history -- which includes the Potomac River, oyster wars, gambling -- through personal collections and much more.
