Travel back in time to get a taste of what life was like in Norfolk in the 1700s when you visit the Willoughby-Baylor House. Constructed in 1794, this federal townhouse tells the story of the city's beginnings through the creative use of its décor and ambiance. The house museum and its property also features a lovely flower and herb garden as well as other interesting amenities that help paint a classic picture of how Norfolk's forefathers lived.
The United States Navy has been a vital part of life in Norfolk for generations. The Hampton Roads Naval Museum does an impressive job of collecting the Navy's history and contributions to the growth and prosperity of the area. Those stories are what fill the museum in various forms. They include hundreds of artifacts, including more than 60 ship models, uniforms and vintage instruments used for navigation. Through fascinating exhibits and attractions, the museum chronicles 220 years of the Navy's history in the Hampton Roads region, which is considered to be the Navy's most important port.
Instead of the usual, opt for an evening of class (and classics) by planning to see a performance of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. Founded in 1920, these musicians carry on the impressive tradition of musical excellence with every piece of music they bring to life. The orchestra also maintains a busy schedule, as they present over 140 performances a year that include classical masterworks, pops, family, and dance series. Also, there are outdoor concerts that take place during the spring and fall months.
