1st Book

The two of you will enjoy escaping the present and journeying to Virginia Beach's dramatic past when you plan a romantic date at the Francis Land House Historic Site. This is a 200-year-old plantation home that has been restored down to the last detail and is open for guided tours and special events. Each room in the house is decorated to reflect the furniture and other items of the period, complete with stunning antiques and reproductions that offer visitors a rare opportunity to peer into how the gentry class of the area used to live.

You never know what hidden treasures await to be discovered when you visit the Barrett Street Antique Center. You will find many items here that range from antique dolls to vintage furniture and much more. These classic pieces make up an antique inventory that has been obtained from over 130 dealers. Also, there are various auctions held during the week that feature some of the most noteworthy and collectible items.

Great melodies and skilled voices intertwine every time the Virginia Beach Chorale takes the stage. This is the oldest continuous performing arts group in Virginia Beach, as the chorale gave its first performance back in 1958. The group has worked on developing an impressive entertainment repertoire that includes classics, Broadway, jazz and even rock. The group performs two main concerts a year that include a spring show and a special Christmas presentation.
