Prince Edward County did not just witness history. It helped change the nation.

On September 8, 1964, public schools reopened in Prince Edward County after being closed for five years to resist integration. The courage of local students, families, and community leaders helped push America toward equal rights and forever changed public education.

This is a story every American should know, and it happened here. Visit the Robert Russa Moton Museum, then walk the Civil Rights in Education Heritage Trail to see the places where courageous trailblazers stood, marched, learned, and fought for change.

Come to Prince Edward County and walk in the footsteps of the people who helped transform America.
