Virtual Presentation | Early American Migrations

November 7 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

Please join us for a virtual presentation about the roads that early Americans traveled during the colonial and early Republic periods. Spanning from Maine to Ohio to Georgia, these routes were traveled by boat, foot, horseback and stage. The Library of Virginia’s senior map archivist, Cassandra Farrell, will discuss migration and maps, giving both a historical context and inspiration for how you can use maps in your research.

This event complements the Library’s exhibition “Mapping the Commonwealth: 1816–1824,” on view Oct. 21, 2024–June 7, 2025.

For more information, contact Anne McCrery at anne.mccrery@lva.virginia.gov or 804.692.3568. This is a free event, but registration is required. Information about joining by Zoom will be shared with all registered participants.
